Bug Description
currently /etc/group is readonly, so when adding a new user to the system and trying to make this user a member of the sudo group will fail. it needs to be researched if the sudo group can be added to the libnss-extrausers setup we have in snappy without any impact. if that is the case we should do the necessary steps in livecd-rootfs to move it over, if this is not the case /etc/group and /etc/gshadow need to be made writable instead.

to make locking of the group and gshadow files possible the setup needs to be similar to the timezone and hostname setup used in snappy via /etc/writable
