[PATCH v3 1/3] useradd.bbclass: allow inheriting with only USERADD_DEPENDS set

["Zk47T" <zizuzacker@gmail.com>]

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 incorrectly throws a
fatal error about missing USERADD_PACKAGES.

Skip the USERADD_PACKAGES/USERADD_PARAM validation when USERADD_DEPENDS
is set but USERADD_PACKAGES is not, since the recipe only needs build
dependency tracking, not user/group creation.

Fixes [YOCTO #15863]
