ec480fe320 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.

65b30fab70 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.

c88c109632 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.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
