add group to make 3dt read journal[DO NOT MERGE]

3dt needs to read the journal. In order to do that it needs to be in
systemd-journal group. The issue is that coreos uses several backends for
users and groups. One is a regular /etc/passwd, /etc/groups and the other is
located under /usr/share/baselayout. If we try to append dcos_3dt user with
flag -G this will not work. (Tested on CoreOS beta (1068.3.0))
This seems to be a long running issue with CoreOS
coreos/bugs#312
However if we try to change a user's primary group with -g flag all works
as expected.

This is not meant to be merged, used for testing at this point.
