This reverts commit 788e760b51. NixOS
doesn't even have an /etc/skel. And if we had, 1) NixOS has the
ability to create regular files rather than symlinks in /etc
(environment.etc.<file>.mode = ...), so files in /etc/skel that should
be copied as regular files can be supported; and 2) we may actually
*want* to copy a symlink.
Also, typos in file names. Bleh.
For /etc/skel/* files put file contents into user directories rather than
"symlinks". This way users can edit their .bashrc files.
This small patch works fine with the multi-shell-support topic branch found on
my github page which rewrites .bashrc and similar files to source /etc/ files.
Thus users can opt-out or set options - still following system updates.

prevented the nscd cache from being properly invalidated after a
change, so that e.g. `useradd x; id x' would fail.

coreutils:
- Don't remove variables such as $PATH and $SHELL from the calling
environment (from upstream).
- When su is invoked with command line arguments for the shell
(e.g. "su - -c 'cmd'"), set argv[0] in the shell to "-su" or
"-<basename>" (as determined by the SU_NAME option in
/etc/login.defs). This is necessary to make Bash compiled with
the NON_INTERACTIVE_LOGIN_SHELLS option to read startup files.
- Don't set $PATH to /bin:/usr/bin but inherit the $PATH of the
caller.
