#1508: Move dropping root into sockcreator startup

-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
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.
