Bug#579107: Patch to add --firstgid and --lastgid to addgroup

Hi,





Thanks

I was after a way to use a different range of gid's when invoking addgroup, similar to --firstuid and --lastuid with adduser. When I discovered it wasn't currently supported I modified the script to include it. If you think this feature is an appropriate addition to the functionality of addgroup, It would be good if this patch was incorporated into the next release. This may be a better solution for bug #440801 than relying on --firstuid and --lastuid. I also noticed that --firstuid and --lastuid did not work for adduser --system (bug #344824) so I have also incorporated that feature.
