Subject: accounts: Delete duplicate entries.

When adding multiple instances of a service requiring some user
account/group, we could end up with multiple entries for that account or
group in /etc/passwd or /etc/group.

* gnu/build/accounts.scm (database-writer)[write-entries]: Add call to
'delete-duplicates'.
* tests/accounts.scm ("write-passwd with duplicate entry"): New test.
