Patrick Ohly 5b93ab596a useradd-staticids: explain how to fix the the problem
When a distro uses useradd-staticids.bbclass and some developer
unfamiliar with the static ID mechanism tries to add a recipe which
needs new IDs, the resulting error or warning is typically not
something that the developer will understand.

Even experienced developers do not get enough information. They first
must find out whether the missing ID is for a system user or group,
then locate the file(s) in which the ID could be added. Both of this
is now part of the message:

ERROR: .../meta/recipes-extended/cronie/cronie_1.5.1.bb: cronie -
cronie: system groupname crontab does not have a static ID defined.
Add crontab to one of these files: /.../conf/distro/include/my-distro-group

The case that no file was found is also handled:

ERROR: .../meta/recipes-extended/cronie/cronie_1.5.1.bb: cronie -
cronie: system groupname crontab does not have a static ID defined.
USERADD_GID_TABLES file(s) not found in BBPATH: files/group

It would be nice if the error message could also list the range in
which a new ID needs to be allocated, but /etc/login.defs isn't
available at the time of creating the message, so that part is still
something that a developer needs to know.

QEMU Emulation Targets
======================

To simplify development, the build system supports building images to
work with the QEMU emulator in system emulation mode. Several architectures
are currently supported in 32 and 64 bit variants:

  * ARM (qemuarm + qemuarm64)
  * x86 (qemux86 + qemux86-64)
  * PowerPC (qemuppc only)
  * MIPS (qemumips + qemumips64)

Use of the QEMU images is covered in the Yocto Project Reference Manual.
The appropriate MACHINE variable value corresponding to the target is given
in brackets.
