conf: Add --runas option, changing to given UID and GID if started as root

On some systems, user and group "nobody" might not be available. The
new --runas option allows to override the default "nobody" choice if
started as root.

Now that we allow this, drop the initgroups() call that was used to
add any additional groups for the given user, as that might now
grant unnecessarily broad permissions. For instance, several
distributions have a "kvm" group to allow regular user access to
/dev/kvm, and we don't need that in passt or pasta.
