Tight packing places some constraints on the underlying data:
- Permitted length of username and groupname: 1-32 bytes.
- Permitted length of shell and home: 1-64 bytes.
- Permitted length of shell and home: 1-256 bytes.
- Permitted comment ("gecos") length: 0-255 bytes.
- User name, groupname, gecos and shell must be utf8-encoded.
- User and Groups sections are up to 2^35B (~34GB) large. Assuming an "average"
user record takes 50 bytes, this section would fit ~660M users. The
worst-case upper bound is left as an exercise to the reader.
Sorting is stable. In v0:

255 most popular shells (i.e. referred to by at least two User entries) are
stored externally in "Shells" area. The less popular ones are stored with
userdata.
Shells section consists of two sub-sections: the index and the blob. The index
is a list of structs which point to a location in the "blob" area:
is an array of offsets: the i'th shell starts at `offsets[i]` byte, and ends at
`offsets[i+1]` byte. If there is at least one shell in the shell section, the
index contains a sentinel index as the last element, which signifies the position
of the last byte of the shell blob.
```
const ShellIndex = struct {
offset: u10,
len: u6,
};
```
In the user's struct `shell_here=true` signifies that the shell is stored with
userdata, and it's length is `shell_len_or_idx`. `shell_here=false` means it is
stored in the `Shells` section, and it's index is `shell_len_or_idx`.
`shell_here=true` in the User struct means the shell is stored with userdata,
and it's length is `shell_len_or_idx`. `shell_here=false` means it is stored in
the `Shells` section, and it's index is `shell_len_or_idx` (and the actual
string start and end offsets are resolved as described in the paragraph above).
