Also now permit interactivly running tests without explicitly setting
$srcdir. This now works if we are inside ./tests and fails, as before,
when we are in a different directory.
Detected by shellcheck via CodeFactor.io
changes some of the test commands to use bash functions
includes some small bug fixes to tests where bugs were
previously not seen due to different plumbing.
- Don't use $UID, use $EUID instead
- Allow user to specify testuser (through RSYSLOG_TESTUSER env variable)
or fall back to various default users
- Validate if user running tests can really impersonate another user
- Test if testuser really exists

This also introduces a new global setting to permit keep
supplemental groups during privilege drop. This is needed
when we want to run the tests as non-root (what we want).
Sample:
global(privdrop.group.keepsupplemental="on")
The new tests ensure that we catch regressions in the privilege
drop code.
