I managed to troubleshoot a bit the problem, I don't have a proper
fix, but this should help understand what's going wrong:

I first noticed on the EC2 docker host that /home/jenkins and all
subdirs were owned by root.
So i decided to create a jenkins user/group with id 10000 in the EC2
docker host.
I then made sure that my chgans/jenkins-slave-ecs container run the
entry point as user jenkins.
I added the mount point
"/home/jenkins/workspace:/home/jenkins/workspace" in my ECS slave
template.

But his was not enough, /home/jenkins was owned by jenkins.jenkins
(created via adduser command), but the workspace sub-directory was
automatically created and owned by root.

So I manually created /home/jenkins/workspace and made sure it was
owned by jenkins.jenkins.

Now when i run a job, the templated jenkins slave can clone stuff in
it's workspace, with the right ownership with regards to the docker
host.
The declarative pipeline plugin then creates the sister containers
(python:2.7 in my case) from within the jenkins slave, using
'--volumes-from <jenkins-slave>' and '-u 10000:10000'.

Which lead me to the following questions:
- do I have to setup my own EC2 and make sure it has a jenkins user?
- Who is creating /home/jenkins/workspace as root, and why?
- Why do I have to share workspace, shouldn't /home/jenkins/agent be
all what is necessary?

Thanks,
Chris
