Minor code cleanup; one minor bug fix.

* initramfs-tools-hook: Bug fix: Use the primary group of the first
                        suitable user found, do not look for a
                        group separately.
* mandos: Unconditionally import "struct" and "fcntl".  Use unicode
          strings everywhere possible.
  (Client._datetime_to_milliseconds): New static method.
  (Client.timeout_milliseconds, Client.interval_milliseconds): Use
                                                               above
                                                               method.
  (ClientDBus.CheckedOK,
  ClientDBus.Enable, ClientDBus.StopChecker): Define normally.
  (if_nametoindex): Document non-acceptance of unicode strings.  All
                    callers adjusted.  Do not import "struct" or
                    "fcntl".  Log warning message if if_nametoindex
                    cannot be found using ctypes modules.
  (main): Bug fix: Do not look for user named "nogroup".
