Review request for Asterisk Developers.


Changes
-------

v7:
- rework logic for user / group.  Check getent first, then local passwd and group.


Summary
-------

Make Asterisk install as non-root, this is now the default behavior.

3 new configure options:
--with-user=uid
--with-group=gid
--enable-root

Various changes to Makefile, prefer install over mkdir, mv, chmod and chgrp.
