            [PATCH] Fix sysusers so rabbitmq user exists before installation

Use systemd-rpm-macros %sysusers_create_package to generate
a preinstall scriptlet that runs systemd-sysusers early in
the RPM transaction.

This ensures the rabbitmq user/group exists before file
ownership is applied, removing "using root" warnings during
install.
