The format of the users table files is non trivial, so it is sometimes
handy to add comments explaining the syntax (or simply the reason for
the user) inline in the files.
Ignore empty lines and comment lines prefixed with '#' similar to shell
or makedevs files.
Packages that defined no user (the vast majority) would cause an empty
line to be present in the internal users table, hence the reason we
skipped empty usernames. Now that we ignore empty lines, we no longer
need to check for empty usernames.

The following allows a user definition to specify that a created user
entry should not have a password value set. Original implementation
allowed a user definition to provide a password value of "=" (no quotes)
to generate a crypt-encoded empty string value. In some cases, it may be
desired to have no value specified for a user's password. By using a
value "-" for a password, no value will be set in the shadow value.
An example when this can be used is when logging into a terminal.
Logging into a session with an encoded empty password will prompt a user
to enter a password since it does not know the password is empty. If the
password field blank, a login session will not prompt for a password.

The current error messages are a bit terse, and do not provide all the
required information.

Not all systems have /bin/bash (e.g. NixOS[1] doesn't). Buildroot
already uses /usr/bin/env shebangs for other interpreters (perl,
python), so why not bash?
This changes only the shebangs used by Buildroot itself; stuff installed
to the target system is left unchanged.
With this applied I can run Buildroot unmodified on NixOS.

Let mkusers create groups alone, useful for supplementary permissions in
udev/systemd for example where users can be added to later at runtime.
Use a magic string "-" to signal that user creation should be skipped.

Currently, the symlinks in the generated filesystems will have the
UID of the user running the build, because 'chown' does not change
the ownership of symlinks, by default.
Although the implications are limited, some may not want that UID
to leak in the generated filesystems.
So, use 'chown -h' so even symlinks get properly chowned.

When adding a new user (or a new group), we would get warnings, like:
[...]/support/scripts/mkusers: line 145: [: too many arguments
This is because we're checking if a UID (or a GID) is already defined,
and/or is different from the requested one, both checks in the same
test.
Of course, if a UID (or a GID) is not defined, it does not have a value,
so we can not compare it to an integer.
Fix that by splitting the test in two, so the second is only executed if
the first is sucessful.

To make the naming consistent (all user-visible options should be
prefixed with BR2_).
An entry is added to Makefile.legacy to warn users who have set
BUILDROOT_CONFIG but not BR2_CONFIG.
Still export BUILDROOT_CONFIG but pointing to some phony value, to
make sure that scripts that still use it fail in a predictable way.

Packages that install daemons may need those daemons to run as a non-root,
or an otherwise non-system (eg. 'daemon'), user.
Add infrastructure for packages to create users, by declaring the FOO_USERS
variable that contain a makedev-syntax-like description of the user(s) to
add.
