Creates user user with password changeme (not in Qubes).
That is if user user is not existing yet.
And if it does create user user it also locks the root account.
Therefore root account locking effectively only happens in new
builds not having user user already created.
Adds user user to groups cdrom, audio, dip, sudo, plugdev.
Ships a systemd unit file dist-skel-first-boot.service
which runs /usr/libexec/helper-scripts/first-boot-skel
(part of helper-scripts) package.
Simplifies sudo default lecture to only showing the default password once.
Creates version file /var/lib/dist-base-files/build_version.
Default shell: Sets default shell for user user to zsh.
(Unless file /etc/no-shell-change exists.)
