[OE-core] [PATCH] meta/recipes-core/base-passwd/base-passwd/noshadow.patch: Split it into two parts

[Laszlo Papp]

Why is it a nightmare? For instance, maintainers in other projects
leave a "Pushed, thanks" note.

See how much discussion this generates already, instead of two words.
While you are at the change to merge it, you are already in place to
leave the comment. However, contributors need to go and find the
corresponding url, etc. Please note that contributors may want to know
whether their voluntary work got merged without even a checkout, for
instance double checking from mobile, etc.

... or is the real problem the lack of maintainer man power?
