Serge: I will submit a patch later today. However, I just thought that
it's probably better that "allow_setgroups" should be "ignore_setgroups"
and we retain the current behaviour (we don't write anything to
/proc/$pid/setgroups) -- which allows a user (or runtime) to explicitly
disable setgroups even if they would normally have the right to use
setgroups.

Does that sound okay to you? I will make the default ignore_setgroups,
but IMO we should change the default for `useradd` to (by default) set
deny_setgroups.
