[issue6758] implement new setuid-related calls and a standard way to drop all privileges

[Jean-Paul Calderone]

Jean-Paul Calderone <exarkun at divmod.com> added the comment:

It would still be nice to have the currently unimplemented platform
wrappers added to the standard library, though.  For example, as solinym
pointed out, getresuid and getresgid are not currently wrapped at all. 
There may be other low-level APIs which may be missing as well.
