Description

It would be very useful to have an additional state for users. Currently there is absent and present. It would be useful to have a state that does the following:

1) If the user already exists, it will force all of their values to what is specified in the manifest. 2) If the user does not already exist, the user won't be created.

This would allow for gracefully migrating into a completely managed state of time, where some users are still created locally.
