This is a regression of puppetlabs#8501 which made `forcelocal` act different when setting the `gid` parameter. Since we were returning the GID of an user as a string, Puppet made the assumption that the GID wasn't a number. This caused issues when setting gid to a string value (like `gid => 'abc'`), which is allowed in Puppet. To fix this, ensure we return the GID as integer after searching `/etc/passwd`. If for some reason it cannot be converted, it is returned as is (highly unlikely as non-numeric GIDs are not allowed in `/etc/passwd`).
