sysutils/nut*: Use a dedicated UID and GID
To reduce conflicts with other packages and improve security, avoid using the uucp UID and GID. This avoids potential conflicts with the net/freebsd-uucp port. Users who wish to continue using the uucp user and group may add NUT_USER=uucp and NUT_GROUP=uucp to their make.conf. PR: 268960 Reported by: delphij MFH: 2023Q1
