#212 allow use of unix_chkpwd by group

Milestone: feature-request

Extend unix_chkpwd to be able to check other users'
passwords in a controlled manner. Members of a
specific system group are allowed to check passwords
other than their own.

One implementation fixes the name of the group at
compiletime. A different proposal is to use the
file-group of the helper command.
