A user may not have a same username as the attribute they are defined with, which the code previously assumed. With this change, the same attribute title used to define a user in NixOS' users.users option can be employed within the persistence configuration.

A user with persistence defined in their home directory using the NixOS module is currently required to have the same username as their users.users attribute name.
This change fixes that by pulling not just the group but also the name from the NixOS config.
