From: Chen Qi <Qi.Chen@windriver.com>

It's possible that users use EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS to set password
for root or explicitly expire root password. So we need to check
these two cases to ensure the 'no password' banner is not misleading.

As an example, below are configurations to make an image requiring
setting a root password on first boot, but without having to first enter
a static initial password:

  In conf/toolcfg.cfg:
  OE_FRAGMENTS += "distro/poky core/yocto/root-login-with-empty-password
  In local.conf:
  INHERIT += "extrausers"
  EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS += " passwd-expire root;"

Checking and adding such a banner is ensured to run as last steps of
ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND, regardless of IMAGE_FEATURES. In particualr,
we want to ensure that the function runs after set_user_group function
from extrausers.bbclass. So unlike other commands in this bbclass using
the '+=', this function uses ':append'.
