[issue6758] implement new setuid-related calls and a standard way to drop all privileges

[Travis H.]

Travis H. <travis+w-python.org at subspacefield.org> added the comment:

This is my first stab at creating a "privilege" module that implements
the API suggested in the second aforementioned paper.

It is syntactically correct but has some TODO items in it that must be
completed before it will work.

Any suggestions on this code would be greatly appreciated.
