Add support for dropping privileges

If the 'proxy user' configuation option is set in the [gssproxy] section then
GSS Proxy will drop privileges to the specified after setting up all the
sockets.

Care must be taken to make sure all the resources the daemon need access to
(keytabs, ccache directories, etc..) are accessible as the proxy user.

Implements: https://fedorahosted.org/gss-proxy/ticket/102
