If (after upcasing and replacing hyphens by underscores) ACCT_GROUP_NAME
is set to something that isn't valid in a bash variable name, the eclass
will crash: it uses ACCT_GROUP_NAME to construct the make.conf override variables in pkg_pretend() and src_install().
This commit relocates the computation of the "override name" subsequent
to the definition of ACCT_GROUP_NAME="${PN}". In Gentoo, policy prohibits redefinition of that variable; so nothing is changed. But in an overlay,
this allows the ebuild to define ACCT_GROUP_NAME to something that would
not be valid in a bash variable at the expense of violating expectations
about the override variable names.
