nspawn: add new --bind-user= option for binding a host user into the container
This new option does three things for a host user specified via --bind-user=: 1. Bind mount the home directory from the host directory into /run/host/home/<username> 2. Install an additional user namepace UID/GID mapping mapping the host UID/GID of the host user to an unused one from the container in the range 60514…60577. 3. Synthesize a user/group record for the user/group under the same name as on the host, with minimized information, and the UID/GID set to the mapped UID/GID. This data is written to /run/host/userdb/ where nss-system will pick it up. This should make sharing users and home directories from host into the container pretty seamless, under some conditions: 1. User namespacing must be used. 2. The host UID/GID of the user/group cannot be in the range assigned to the container (kernel already refuses this, as this would mean two host UIDs/GIDs might end up being mapped to the same continer UID/GID. 3. There's a free UID/GID in the aforementioned range in the container, and the name of the user/group is not used in the container. 4. Container payload is new enough to include an nss-systemd version that picks up records from /run/host/userdb/
