sd-bus: derive uid from cgroup if possible
Whenever we run in a user context, sd_bus_{default_user,open_user}() and friends should always connect to the user-bus of the current context, instead of deriving the uid from getuid(). This allows us running programs via sudo/su, without the nasty side-effect of accidentally connecting to the root user-bus. This patch enforces the idea of making su/sudo *not* opening sessions by default. That is, all they do is raising privileges, but keeping everything set as before. You can still use su/sudo to open real sessions by requesting a login-session (or loading pam_elogind otherwise). However, in this case XDG_RUNTIME_DIR= will not be set (as usual in these cases), hence, you will not be able to connect to *any* user-bus. Long story short: With this patch applied, both: - ./busctl --user - sudo ./busctl --user ..will successfully connect to the user-bus of the local user. Fixes #390.
