os-posix: Provide new -runas <uid>:<gid> facility
This allows the caller to specify a uid and gid to use, even if there
is no corresponding password entry.  This will be useful in certain
Xen configurations.

We don't support just -runas <uid> because: (i) deprivileging without
calling setgroups would be ineffective (ii) given only a uid we don't
know what gid we ought to use (since uids may eppear in multiple
passwd file entries with different gids).
