commit: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=2ff8f54e7930b029ea6cdf6037af7437f2cc1919
branch: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

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.
