Update manual for cache-owner/setuid changes
* manual/intro.me (Arguments to configure): Add --enable-cache-owner and
--disable-cache-owner. Remove --enable-setuid[=ARG]. Adjust
description of --disable-setuid.
* manual/misc.me (Modes of operation): Add --disable-cache-owner to the
non-setuid modes. Mention --enable-setuid rather than
--enable-setuid=USER.
* README (Non-generic arguments to configure): Update.
