[gentoo-dev] RFC: UID/GID assignment for knot (53)

I would like to reserve UID/GID 53 for knot (net-dns/knot).

The UID and GID 53 are assigned by Fedora to tomcat, which is currently
265 on Gentoo; and nsfnobody by RedHat (along with 65 and 4).

The knot user and group don't have any fixed UID/GID on others
distributions. 53 is the ID initially defined by Ondřej Surý for this
package.

ACCT_USER_HOME_OWNER and ACCT_USER_SHELL are redundant, you can just
delete them.
