Subject: [PATCH] userdb: Add proper error reporting when getting groups from a
 uid

Previously, if dbus_connection_get_unix_user() succeeded but
_dbus_unix_groups_from_uid() failed, then bus_connection_get_unix_groups()
would incorrectly fail without setting the error indicator, resulting
in "(null)" being logged, which is rather unhelpful.

This also lets us distinguish between ENOMEM and other errors, such as
the uid not existing in the system's user database.

Fixes: 145fb99b (untitled refactoring commit, 2006-12-12)
