Summary: pwd and grp modules error msg improvements

Initial Comment:
pwd.getpwnam(), pwd.getpwuid(), grp.getgrnam(), and
grp.getgrgid() all produce KeyErrors when the integer
or string they're passed can't be found.  That's all
fine and good, except that they don't include the name
or uid in the error message. This can really suck for
debugging.

The attached patch improves the error message by
including the uid and name in the error string.

This should be backported to Python 2.3 as well.
