Title:
  update cc_users_groups for uid parameter must be set as string

Status in cloud-init:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The User and Groups module's uid parameter does not take effect unless
  you specify its value as a string.

  I do not know if this is a code defect or if it is working as
  designed. If it is working as designed, it would be nice if the
  documentation were updated to note that uid should be set as a string
  instead of an integer.

  This line of code in the base distro class only appends the key-val to the useradd command args if the val is a string:
