[Bug 83373] [users-admin] new user gets group of user added just before

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

Steps:

1. add a new user 'bob'; bob gets his own group 'bob'
2. add another user 'bob2'; bob2 is in the group 'bob'

I believe this is very unintuitive behavior,  although it can be
justified in some mass user add scenarios.

There is also a slight security risk as an admin might not double check
group membership.
