gpasswd is a fifteenth tool, so a minor bump rather than a patch. Also corrects the three static-musl sections for it. gpasswd is setuid and authenticates a group administrator against the group password through crypt(3) rather than PAM, so unlike chfn and chsh it keeps working in the musl build; it resolves the caller through getpwuid_r, so it joins the five tools that do not see directory users there; and it can neither verify nor set a yescrypt group password. The counts around those paragraphs were left at fourteen tools. The README's multicall paragraph still named four setuid applets.

gpasswdis a fifteenth tool, so a minor bump rather than a patch.Documentation the new tool invalidated
docs/PLATFORM-SUPPORT.mddescribes what the static musl build gives up, toolby tool.
gpasswdchanges each of the three sections and none of them had beenupdated:
chfnandchshbecome root-only there because they authenticatethrough PAM.
gpasswddoes not — likenewgrpit checks the group passwordthrough crypt(3) — so it keeps working for a group administrator in the musl
build. It was silently lumped in with "the other eleven tools, which are
root-only anyway", which is wrong twice over: the count and the claim.
gpasswdresolves the caller throughgetpwuid_r, so it joinsthe list of tools that cannot see directory users there. It was in the list
but the sentence below still said "those five tools".

0.4.0after this publishes. The pipeline is the one that worked for0.3.1, so I expect no repeat of that adventure — I will check the archives
afterwards regardless.
