[arch-general] Removing gitolite package doesn't remove gitolite user

Ahoi,

I was removing gitolite because I fucked my setup up. When I
reinstalled it to start from scratch, I ran into a problem.

The /var/lib/gitolite folder wasn't created when I reinstalled the
package. I found out that the gitolite user also still existed. I
removed it and reinstalled gitolite. Now the directory was created like
it should.

I think this is a bug. When gitolite is uninstalled it should also
remove the gitolite user.
If the user is for some reason still needed after uninstall, another
solution would be to correctly recreate the /var/lib/gitolite directory
when installing the package and the gitolite user is detected.
