Fix the parsing of the `--userspec=USER:GROUP` argument so that the both the user and the group are optional, and update the error message to match that of GNU `chroot`. This commit also removes the incorrect `clap` arguments for `--user` and `--group`. In `chroot --user=USER`, the `--user` is an abbreviation of `--userspec`, and in `chroot --group=GROUP`, the `--group` is an abbreviation of `--groups`. Closes uutils#7040.
