Subject: chroot and change user support (Nolan)

Resent with fixed formatting.

This patch adds two new command line options:
 -chroot <dir>
 -runas <user>

This is useful for running qemu as an unprivileged user in a chroot
jail.  To avoid having to populate the jail, chrooting happens right
before the start of guest execution.
