+ userspec: support optional parameters to parse_user_spec()
+ * lib/userspec.c (parse_user_spec): If the GID param is NULL,
+ then avoid group processing and treat the full spec as a user.
+ (parse_with_separator): Allow the USERNAME and GROUPNAME to
+ be optional params (NULL), in which case they're ignored.
