strip appended group name from _user_gid before using it with the pw command

Although there is code that attempts to add the group name to the dialog
display starting in line 1023 of user_input.subr:

        # Attempt to translate a numeric GID into `number (name)'
        if f_isinteger "$user_gid"; then
                local user_group
                user_group=$( pw groupshow -g "$user_gid" 2> /dev/null ) &&
                        user_gid="$user_gid (${user_group%%:*})"
        fi

I could not identify any existing code for bsdconfig that was meant to strip
the (<groupname>) out again.

Albeit not elegant, the attached patch solves the problem for me (on
10.3-STABLE).
