Although, virtiofsd expect to run as root, either as the real one, or the 
pseudo-root inside a user namespace, there are use cases there are use cases 
that need to be able to run virtiofsd as a non-privileged user outside a user 
namespace.
In this mode many operations will not be available (e.g. chown).

There are some issues that are related to this MR: #8 and #43. Besides the 
request in #8 recently there was a request for this functionality in the matrix 
channel, I am creating this MR to have that discussion here.

Notes:

- Some operations fails, like chown, but these also fail with 
--sandbox=namespace.
- I want to move the capability-related code and `enable_seccomp()` call into 
`sandbox.rs`, so I don't need to "leak" the info about the sandbox type chosen 
by the user.
