[OE-core] [PATCH v2] oe-selftest: Add static postgres user/group for reproducible build test

[Zhang Xiao]

This adds the static postgres UID/GID entries to static-passwd and
static-group, fixing the "Nothing PROVIDES 'postgresql'" error when
running reproducible test.

The selftest environment requires static system user IDs to ensure
build reproducibility, which was missing for the postgres user/group
before this change.

Since this is a meta-oe recipe, shouldn't those static IDs be defined in
https://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/tree/meta-oe/files/static-passwd-meta-oe
https://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/tree/meta-oe/files/static-group-meta-oe
instead?

Regards,
