Bug Description

When trying to create a system user with shell='/usr/sbin/nologin', the user is created with the shell `/bin/sh` instead. core.host.adduser ignores shell when creating a system user.

```
adduser("test123", shell="/usr/sbin/nologin", system_user=True, primary_group="test123", home_dir="/tmp/test123")

cat /etc/passwd
test123:x:995:128::/home/test123:/bin/sh
```
