linux-user: Use direct syscalls for setuid(), etc

Browse Source 
On Linux the setuid(), setgid(), etc system calls have different semantics
from the libc functions. The libc functions follow POSIX and update the
credentials for all threads in the process; the system calls update only
the thread which makes the call. (This impedance mismatch is worked around
in libc by signalling all threads to tell them to do a syscall, in a
byzantine and fragile way; see http://ewontfix.com/17/.)

Since in linux-user we are trying to emulate the system call semantics,
we must implement all these syscalls to directly call the underlying
host syscall, rather than calling the host libc function.

/* We must do direct syscalls for setting UID/GID, because we want to
* implement the Linux system call semantics of "change only for this thread",
* not the libc/POSIX semantics of "change for all threads in process".
* (See http://ewontfix.com/17/ for more details.)
* We use the 32-bit version of the syscalls if present; if it is not
* then either the host architecture supports 32-bit UIDs natively with
* the standard syscall, or the 16-bit UID is the best we can do.
