[PATCH] --drop-privileges flag

Hi

I'm writing a PulseAudio module which needs root privileges in order to work.
However, currently it can't be used because PulseAudio drops privileges on
startup unconditionally.

Please consider the attached patch to implement --drop-privileges flag. This
flag can be set to false to disable privilege dropping (marked as "DANGEROUS"
for users who know what they're doing).
