When a recipe inherits useradd and only sets USERADD_DEPENDS (to depend
on users/groups created by another recipe) without creating any
users/groups itself, the parse-time sanity check in
update_useradd_after_parse() unconditionally throws a fatal error about
missing USERADD_PACKAGES.

This series fixes the issue by skipping the USERADD_PACKAGES validation
when USERADD_DEPENDS is set, adds a selftest recipe to exercise this
code path, and adds an oe-selftest case to verify the build succeeds.

Changes in v3:
- Fix usegroup-deponly.bb: remove unnecessary S and UNPACKDIR variables
  that caused do_unpack to fail on the autobuilder (reported by
  Mathieu Dubois-Briand)

Changes in v2:
- Added oe-selftest test case in usergrouptests.py (patch 3/3)
  as suggested by Ross Burton

Fixes [YOCTO #15863]

Nguyen Minh Tien (3):
  useradd.bbclass: allow inheriting with only USERADD_DEPENDS set
  meta-selftest: add usegroup-deponly recipe to test USERADD_DEPENDS
    only
  oe-selftest: add test for useradd with only USERADD_DEPENDS
