ceamac 69df728e09 Add --user/--group to run as a different uid/gid as root
bwrap --uid/--gid require --unshare-user, which is never requested
when running as root (since last session's fix), and user namespaces
aren't a near-term option anyway -- the actual Android target doesn't
support them.

--user <name-or-uid> / --group <name-or-gid> work around this:
user_spec.cpp resolves them against the *mounted image's own*
/etc/passwd and /etc/group (names like "git" only mean anything inside
that image's user database), and bwrap.cpp bind-mounts a small helper
into the sandbox to do the actual privilege drop before exec'ing the
real command, since bwrap itself can't switch uid/gid without a user
namespace.

The helper has to be a separate, statically-linked binary
(priv_drop_helper.cpp -> slocker-lite-priv-drop, built with -static)
rather than slocker_lite's own binary: bind-mounting a dynamically
linked executable into an arbitrary container image fails ("error
while loading shared libraries") since that image's own /lib won't
have slocker_lite's dependencies. find_priv_drop_helper() locates it
next to slocker_lite's own binary; run_bwrap() fails fast if it's
missing rather than silently running as root.

Only works without a user namespace (root): under --unshare-user the
sandbox's uid map has only one valid entry, so the helper's own
setuid() fails cleanly there instead of doing nothing silently.
