60c81cf107 Add an example to pw.8 about how to add an existing user to a group. 
Instead of using pw to modify group membership, users often edit
/etc/group by hand, which is discouraged.  Provide an example of
adding a user to the wheel group, which is a common use case.
I'm using a different user here as in the previous example as that
deleted the user (although the examples don't necessarily have to
be followed in order).

d30f122fa6 pw(8): correct expiration period handling and command line overrides 
to preconfigured values for -e, -p and -w flags.

Use non-negative symbols instead of magic values
in passwd_val/pw_password functions.

3bfc59e83b backout remove of -q option for pw [user|group] next 
While the return code is broken, some corner case usage depends on the
functionnality, so backout until we get better regression tests covering those
corner case usage.

0958dffde2 Remove '-q' support for pw [user|group] next 
the intent of -q in this command is to return as exit status the value of the
next group/user id, which does not make sense given exit status are limited to
values between 0 and 255.

bc991a6d5f Add the groupmod '-d' option to pw to allow the deletion of existing users 
from a group without the need to perform the same operation by replacing
the existing list via the '-M' option.  The '-M' option requires someone
to fetch the existing members with pw, deleting the undesired members from
the list and sending the altered list back to pw.
