environment: Add --user.
This change allows overriding the home directory of all filesystem mappings to help hide the identity of the calling user in a container. * doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix environment)[--container]: Mention --user. [--user]: Add item. * guix/scripts/environment.scm (show-help): Add --user. (%options): Add --user. (launch-environment/container) Add 'user' parameter. Update doc. Override 'user-mappings' using 'override-user-mappings'. Consider override for chdir. (mock-passwd, user-override-home, overrid-euser-dir): New procedures. (guix-environment): Disallow --user without --container. Provide user to 'launch-environment/container'. * tests/guix-environment.sh: Add user test. Signed-off-by: Ludovic Courtès <ludo@gnu.org>
