Before adding accidentally a group twice to a user resulted in the following:
Updating members of group mygroup from ["sandro"] to ["sandro", "sandro"]...

Which was also twice in /etc/groups:
mygroup:x:999:sandro,sandro

With this patch this gets deduplicated and fixed:
<6>Updating members of group mygroup from ["sandro", "sandro"] to ["sandro"]... mygroup:x:999:sandro

We should also probably sort the groups, otherwise dedup doesn't work in all cases

Removes consecutive repeated elements in the vector

Is it like the uniq unix command? I didn't even think about that....

HashSet might be than the better choice. Also this could be potentially already sorted by nix if it was derived from an attrset.
