** [tickets:#13] drop root privileges at startup**

IANA assigned TCP ports 323 and 324 for rpki-rtr, which means that root
privileges are required to listen. For improved security, RPSTIR's rpki-rtr
daemon should drop root privileges after `bind()`ing.
The UID to drop to should be configurable, defaulting to `nobody` or the main
`rpstir` user.
Starting points:
* `bin/rpki-rtr/main.c`
* `lib/config/config.h` (for configurability)
