Bug#648148: autopkgtest: Support running as user

[Martin Pitt]

Package: autopkgtest
Severity: wishlist
Version: 2.0.1

Hello,

for testing build recipes I'd like to skip all the apt parts and run
adt-run as normal user. This currently fails because it always tries
to set up apt.

Attached patch skips the apt parts if running as non-root and prints a
warning. The second hunk is necessary because opts.user defaults to
'', not to None, and thus "opts.user is not None" is always True and
it always tries to call su (which doesn't work as normal user).

Thanks,

Martin
