bugfix: do not open files with full privileges, if privs will be dropped
This make the privilege drop code more bulletproof, but breaks Ubuntu's work-around for log files created by external programs with the wrong user and/or group. Note that it was long said that this "functionality" would break once we go for serious privilege drop code, so hopefully nobody still depends on it (and, if so, they lost...).
