[OE-core] [PATCH V5 0/3] Add a method for image level user/group configuration

[Qi.Chen at windriver.com]

From: Chen Qi <Qi.Chen at windriver.com>

Changes from V4:
1. Take into consideration the possibility of whitespaces in /etc/passwd and /etc/group
2. Change bbfatal in perform_usermod and perform_groupmod to bbwarn. Please see detailed reason below.

PackageA pulls in userA.
Now we want userA to map to a fixed user ID without having to worry whether PackageA is installed.
We can now use the following configuration to achieve this requirement.
EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS += "
usermod, -u 2013 userA; \
"
After this configuration, if PacakgeA is installed in our image, the user ID is modified to 2013;
otherwise, there's no change in /etc/passwd, i.e., userA will not be added to /etc/passwd silently.

Hope this information will be useful.
