Peter Wemm b67cbc6548 Implement code for an OpenBSD-style issetuigid().
This is valueable for library code which needs to be able to find out
whether the current process is or *was* set[ug]id at some point in the
past, and may have a "tainted" execution environment.  This is especially
a problem with the trend to immediately revoke privs at startup and regain
them for critical sections.  One problem with this is that if a cracker
is able to compromise the program while it's still got a saved id, the
cracker can direct the program to regain the privs.  Another problem is
that the user may be able to affect the program in some other way (eg:
setting resolver host aliases) and the library code needs to know when it
should disable these sorts of features.
