   - Enable tcpwrappers on all platforms by default.
   - Set user/group for conman to root/root on SLE12 for backward
     compatibility.
   - Remove Provides: group/user(): these are only used by conman, there is
     no intention to provide them to other packages.
   - conman service configured to start as conman:conman user
   - Fixed ssh expect script for SUSE-specific output.
   - conman.conf: make differences between openSUSE and SLES explicit.
   - Set use of tcpwrappers to 'off' by default.
