The package used a lot of string-formatting, followed by string-splitting.
This looked to originate from attempts to use templating to allow future
extensibility (9a3ab0358e).
Looking at the history of the package, only a single update was made to
these templates, 5 years go, which makes it unlikely that more templating
will be needed.
This patch simplifies the handling of arguments to use `[]string` instead
of a single `string` (and splitting to a `[]string`). This both simplifies
the code somewhat, and prevents user/group-names containing spaces to be
splitted (causing, e.g. `getent` to fail).
Note that user/group-names containing spaces are invalid (or at least
discouraged), there are situations where such names may be used, so we
should avoid breaking on such names.
Before this change, a user/group name with a space in its name would fail;
