Currently there are multiple issues with useradd:
* If base-passwd rebuilds, it wipes out recipe specific user/group additions
to sysroots and causes errors
* If recipe A adds a user and recipe B depends on A, it can't see any of the
users/groups A adds.
This patch changes base-passwd so it always works as a postinst script
within the sysroot and copies in the master files, then runs any
postinst-useradd-* scripts afterwards to add additional user/groups.
The postinst-useradd-* scripts are tweaked so that if /etc/passwd doesn't exist
they just exit, knowning they'll be executed later. We also add a dummy entry to
the dummy passwd file from pseudo so we can avoid this too.
There is a problem where if recipe A adds a user and recipe B depends on A but
doesn't care about users, it may not have a dependency on the useradd/groupadd
tools which would therefore not be available in B's sysroot. We therefore also
tweak postinst-useradd-* scripts so that if the tools aren't present we simply
don't add users. If you need the users, you add a dependency on the tools in the
recipe and they'll be added.
We add postinst-* to SSTATE_SCAN_FILES since almost any postinst script of this
kind is going to need relocation help.
We also ensure that the postinst-useradd script is written into the sstate
object as the current script was only being added in a recipe local way.
Thanks to Peter Kjellerstedt <pkj@axis.com> and Patrick Ohly for some pieces
of this patch.

Nodejs expects the user and group nobody to exist on global install commands.
The target build works as base-passwd contained it, however the fallback passwd did not.
This broke the SDK if nodejs was included.

Normally pseudo is built with --without-passwd-fallback, which requires
that somebody provide target passwd and group files. Those come from
base-passwd in OE, but base-passwd cannot be built without first
invoking operations under pseudo that require getpw*/getgr*.
Provide the absolute minimum stub files, matching in content what will
eventually be on the target, that can be used in the cases where the
target files are not yet available. The requirements for minimum stub
are the usernames and groups identified in meta/files/fs-perms.txt.
