daemon: get local users from /etc/shadow not /etc/passwd

For some sites, it's common practice to rsync around large
/etc/passwd files containing the password entries for remote
users. That means accountsservices' "assume /etc/passwd is local
users" heuristic falls over.

This commit changes it to only treat users in /etc/shadow as local.
