Vladimir Oltean 4ad66243dc package/util-linux: add uuidd user and group
When util-linux is compiled with the uuidd daemon and with systemd
init, the rootfs creation fails in fakeroot as follows:

    printf 'host/bin/systemctl --root=build/buildroot-fs/ext2/target preset-all\n' >> build/buildroot-fs/ext2/fakeroot
    [...]
    FAKEROOTDONTTRYCHOWN=1 host/bin/fakeroot -- build/buildroot-fs/ext2/fakeroot
    rootdir=build/buildroot-fs/ext2/target
    table='build/buildroot-fs/full_devices_table.txt'
    ignored spec: h /var/log/journal/%m - - - - +C
    ignored spec: x /var/tmp/systemd-private-%b-*
    ignored spec: X /var/tmp/systemd-private-%b-*/tmp
    ignored spec: x  /var/lib/systemd/coredump/.#core*.%b*
    ignored spec: z /var/log/journal/%m 2755 root systemd-journal - -
    ignored spec: z /var/log/journal/%m/system.journal 0640 root systemd-journal - -
    <stdin>:37: Failed to resolve user 'uuidd': No such process
    make[1]: *** [fs/ext2/ext2.mk:66: images/rootfs.ext2] Error 65
    make: *** [Makefile:83: _all] Error 2

This error can be reproduced with the commands:

    cat <<EOF >.config
    BR2_aarch64=y
    BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
    BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX=y
    BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX_UUIDD=y
    BR2_INIT_SYSTEMD=y
    BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_EXT2=y
    EOF
    make olddefconfig
    make

The error comes from systemctl, which cannot find the uuidd user in
the target rootfs, needed in the uuidd.service unit file [1].

This commit fixes the issue by adding the uuidd user and group in
support/scripts/mkusers syntax.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded
Linux systems through cross-compilation.

The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text
document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text.
Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!

Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run
'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations.

Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the
buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
