 Once the #805 is finished, both auth and resorver will start using socket
 creator as a side effect of the change and therefore won't need to start
 as root. So the dropping of root privileges in boss can happen immediately
 after the socket creator is started, probably as part of the
 isc.bind10.special_component.SockCreator class. The
 isc.bind10.special_component.SetUID will no longer be needed.

 The effect (unknown to me) to the dhcp side should be checked first.
