Allow disabling build users by unsetting build-users-group

Browse source 
Unsetting `build-users-group` (without `auto-allocate-uids` enabled)
gives the following error:

```
src/libstore/lock.cc:25: static std::unique_ptr<nix::UserLock> nix::SimpleUserLock::acquire(): Assertion `settings.buildUsersGroup != ""' failed.
```

Fix the logic in `useBuildUsers` and document the default value
for `build-users-group`.
