[users] fuse-davfs2 should add user davfs2

[Ralph Angenendt]

Moin

from the manual page:

mount.davfs needs root privileges for mounting. But running a daemon,
that is connected to the internet, with root privileges is a security
risk. So mount.davfs will change its uid and gid when entering daemon
mode.

    When invoked by root mount.davfs will run as user davfs2 and group
    davfs2.

    When invoked by an ordinary user it will run with the id of this
    user and with group davfs2.

This user isn't added when fuse-davfs2 is installed, which might lead to
some confusion.

Proposed patch for the specfile (the home directory is the one proposed
in the NEWS file from the doc section):
