Howdy,

This patch explains -F for usershow and groupshow.  Because "groupmod 
... -F" doesn't do anything, the patch also drops that from groupmod's 
command line args.

For usershow and groupshow, -F forces pw to print details even if the 
account doesn't exist.  The patch adds this to the usershow section. 
Since groupshow says it uses the same args as usershow, so no need to 
repeat it there.
