[PATCH 05/15] util: make virSetUIDGID a NOP when uid or gid is -1

[Laine Stump <laine@xxxxxxxxx>]

setregid() and setreuid() already interpret -1 as a NOP, so this is
just an optimization for those, but we are also calling getpwuid_r and
initgroups, and it's unclear what the former would do with a uid of
-1.
