adduser: remove preconfigured GECOS full name field
Pre-configuring "Linux User" as Full Name is confusing a lot of users
downstream.[1] For example, in geary e-mails were sent out as "Linux
User"[2] and I also saw a couple of git commits with this name. This name
does not bring any more improvements than just leaving this field
empty, and let applications most likely fallback to the username.
Alternative would be to set the field to `&` (Capitalized username,
according to passwd(5)) or that we just set the GECOS field downstream.
