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.
