Peter Hutterer 34be0608c7 weston-launch: always drop privileges before execve
The current code works if pw->pw_shell is bash because:
 "If the shell is started with the effective user (group) id not equal to
 the real user (group) id, and the -p option is not supplied, these actions
 are taken and the effective user id is set to the real user id."

Thus, for bash, weston's EUID == UID.

For zsh, the -p option "is enabled automatically on startup if the effective
user (group) ID is  not equal to the real user (group) ID."
Thus, weston's EUID = 0, and if pw_shell is zsh, /run/user/$UID/wayland-0 is
created with euid root and not writeable by the user, causing all clients to
fail.

Fix this by always dropping privileges to the user.

Regression introduced in 636156d.

Weston

Weston is the reference implementation of a Wayland compositor, and a
useful compositor in its own right.  Weston has various backends that
lets it run on Linux kernel modesetting and evdev input as well as
under X11.  Weston ships with a few example clients, from simple
clients that demonstrate certain aspects of the protocol to more
complete clients and a simplistic toolkit.  There is also a quite
capable terminal emulator (weston-terminal) and an toy/example desktop
shell.  Finally, weston also provides integration with the Xorg server
and can pull X clients into the Wayland desktop and act as a X window
manager.

Refer to http://wayland.freedesktop.org/building.html for buiding
weston and its dependencies.
