docs: Switched to 'useradd', as it is a more cross-distro cmd.
'adduser' is installed on Debian-based systems by default, but is not installed by default on Fedora-based systems. 'useradd' is installed by default on Debian-based systems, as well. The 'useradd'-based command provides the same functionality as 'adduser' in this case, though setting up a 'system' user with no password. Per bug 886, I've added the '--user-group' flag, which creates a mediagoblin group, and assigns the mediagoblin user to this group, too.
