[Bug 1878654] Re: Remove automatically added groups from os-login

Because these packages may end up getting copied to the security
pockets, these have been built in the ubuntu-security-proposed ppa:

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  The google_oslogin_control script included in the google-compute-
  engine-oslogin binary package adds every new user to several
  unnecessary/unexpected groups. Upstream recommends disabling this
  behavior.

  [Test Case]

  Examine the /usr/bin/google_oslogin_control and ensure that the variable
  assignment for

    group_conf_entry

  in the modify_group_conf() function does not contain any of the
  following groups:

    dip, plugdev, adm, docker, lxd

  [Regression Potential]

  Implemented incorrectly, this could break group setup for users on new
  gce instances. Users may also have to alter configuration management
  tools that expect users to already have access to e.g. the docker or
  lxd group by default.
