[OE-core] [RFC PATCH 0/2] RFC: Implement deterministic uid/gid

[Mark Hatle]

The following series implements the deterministic uid/gid setting for a
distribution.  Currently when a filesystem is generated the uid/gid values
are generally set at install time, so the install order determines what
the actual uid/gid values become.  In order to create a deterministic uid/gid
set, that still dynamically constructs the passwd/group file, we add an
option to read a special passwd/group file to allow the system to determine
the values.

It uses the existing parameters, and the values from the special passwd/group
files to reconstruct the parameter set to ensure these items are fully
defined with static values.

The first patch (01/02) is generally applicable.  It fixes a real bug in
the way the user/group adds occur today within the system.

Patch 02/02 implements the new functionality.


The following changes since commit 8505f0fa48cc79d51616b923c6e2c778c4b46a44:
