8e831d2224 base-linux: Support customization of UIDs and GIDs
With this patch, custom UIDs and GIDs can be assigned to individual
Genode processes or whole Genode subsystems.

The new 'base-linux/run/lx_uid.run' script contains an example of how to
use the feature.

Fixes #510

959df5d46b Generalize handling of PD-session arguments
On Linux, we want to attach additional attributes to processes, i.e.,
the chroot location, the designated UID, and GID. Instead of polluting
the generic code with such Linux-specific platform details, I introduced
the new 'Native_pd_args' type, which can be customized for each
platform. The platform-dependent policy of init is factored out in the
new 'pd_args' library.

The new 'base-linux/run/lx_pd_args.run' script can be used to validate
the propagation of those attributes into core.

Note that this patch does not add the interpretation of the new UID and
PID attributes by core. This will be subject of a follow-up patch.

Related to #510.
