[OE-core] [PATCH] base-passwd: Move update-passwd into a separate package

update-passwd is the only user of the passwd/group.master files
and was never used by OE since it wasn't run.

This patch packages this separately and adds an appropriate postinst
to make the package useful so people can include it as they wish.
