This updates the table of static user/group ID allocations with
additional entries for rpc (UID/GID 32). These static IDs are
in use by the rpcbind package since long time:

To be completely honest, wish this list wasn't in the guidelines at all. I'm sure there are other things missing from it. But there's also no good way to get it besides grepping specs as far as I know, and in any case if we have a list we certainly should try to make sure it's correct.

@tibbs thanks for merging this! For transparency, I'm interested in expanding these tables adding more entries that are still missing from it, I'll likely submit more PRs as I keep discovering them.

In general I agree I'd be happy to have this table outside of the docs, and into a dedicated versioned file with a machine-readable format. Possibly in the longer term, do we have any better idea where we could store this?

I had made this one as part of https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/1076.

I also agree that we can move this somewhere else to use a better format.
