SSSD: Load a user to run a service as from configuration
Related: https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/2370 Adds a option, user to run as, that is specified in the [sssd] section. When this option is specified, SSSD will run as this user and his private group. When these are not specified, SSSD will run as the configure-time user and group (usually root). Currently all services and providers are started as root. There is a temporary svc_supported_as_nonroot() function that returns true for a service if that service runs and was tested as nonroot and false otherwise. Currently this function always returns false, but will be amended in future patches. Reviewed-by: Pavel Reichl <preichl@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Simo Sorce <simo@redhat.com>
