user-group: Update according to today's Council decision
Also change the order from downwards to upwards, so that we start
allocation in the new range 500..749 progressing upwards.
For the existing range 101..499 order doesn't really matter, because
it is practically full (as of today, 15 free UIDs and no free GIDs).
