Title: Added --user option to `siriproxy server` which drops root privileges

Pull request for #334.

Running as root is undesirable as it allows plugins to perform unintentionally destructive or malicious actions at runtime. This patch adds a --user option which allows the server to switch to an unprivileged user limiting the potential for harm from plugins.
