[OE-core] is there, somewhere, a compendium of user/group/account-related features in OE?

  colleague recently asked for a summary of OE utilities/features that
support customizing the users/groups/passwords/etc. when creating an
image, and i realized in short order that there is quite a lot of
that.

  i see .bbclass files:

    * extrausers.bbclass
    * useradd_base.bbclass
    * useradd.bbclass
    * useradd-staticids.bbclass

  i see various variables:

    * EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS
    * USERADD_PARAM
    * GROUPADD_PARAM
    * GROUPMEMS_PARAM

  i see utilities related to IMAGE_FEATURES:

    * ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND +=
      '${@bb.utils.contains_any("IMAGE_FEATURES", [ 'debug-tweaks',
      'empty-root-password' ], "", "zap_empty_root_password ; ",d)}'

the list just goes on and on ... i'll ask if there is, somewhere, a
"users and groups" guide for OE, but i'm pretty sure there isn't so i
guess i'll have to whip one up.

  another users/groups query coming shortly, but this one will be far
more specific.
