[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] sysusers.sh fails in empty chroot (Issue #3186)

[Panu Matilainen]

**Describe the bug**

sysusers.sh fails when installing to an empty chroot

**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior on Fedora >= 39:
1. mkdir -p /srv/f41 && cd /srv/f41
2. dnf --disablerepo="*" --enablerepo="rawhide" --installroot=/srv/test download --resolve httpd
3. make sure %__systemd_sysusers is set to the rpm sysusers.sh script
4. rpm -Uv --root /srv/test --noscripts --noplugins *.rpm

**Expected behavior**
Some errors expected due to --noscripts, but users and groups should get created in the chroot.

**Output**
