dockerrpm: run docker build process as the current user, not as root

Docker can be run by ordinary users if they are in the docker group. The build
process would however be run as a root user, only protected by the sandboxing.
That caused problems with the shared directory where rpmbuild would be picky
about building from sources owned by less privileged users and producing files
owned by root.

Instead, add a build user with the right uid/gid to the image and run the
docker process as that user.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install:

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See http://mercurial.selenic.com/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
