[yocto] Setting home directory ownership

[Sergio Torres Soldado]

Sorry. I was using NFS boot and was copying over the rootfs with "cp -r"
instead of "cp -a", the permissions are fine. The only issue that remains
is that I have to use "chmod -R 1000" i.e. the UID instead of the username
otherwise I get the following error:
"""
| DEBUG: Python function extend_recipe_sysroot finished
| DEBUG: Executing shell function do_install
| install: invalid user ‘someusername’
"""
