[avahi] Making AVAHI_USER optional

[Milton Mukhopadhyay]

Hi,
It is mandatory at the moment to have AVAHI_USER configured even if avahi-daemon is used with command-line option: --no-drop-root.  It seems like avahi-daemon tries to chown avahi runtime directory to AVAHI_USER regardless of the option. As we need to use avahi in our own sandbox we disable chroot and drop-root on avahi-daemon and do not want to configure AVAHI_USER. The attached patch enables one to achieve that. It'd be good if somebody from the community would review the patch and if correct this could actually be useful in general.

Thanks,
Milton
