Putting a user in the group "systemd-journal" or "kvm" does not work anymore from Ignition #799

Description

I have an old config where a new user gets created and added to the systemd-journal group from Ignition and another one with the kvm group. This fails to boot because Ignition does not find the group.

Impact

Regression, instance fails to boot (initrd emergency console)

Environment and steps to reproduce

The 2.2.0 config has an entry passwd → users → "name": "myuser", "groups": ["sudo", "docker", "systemd-journal", "kvm"]

Expected behavior

It works again

Additional information

Maybe we need to add the group in the initramfs, at least I see it in /usr/share/baselayout/group already and we could concatenate these entries to the initramfs passwd if that helps
