r17293: After the results from the cluster tests in Germany,

fix the messaging code to call the efficient calls :

save_re_uid()
set_effective_uid(0);

messaging_op

restore_re_uid();

instead of using heavyweight become_root()/unbecome_root()
pairs around all messaging code. Fixup the messaging
code to ensure sec_init() is called (only once) so that non-root
processes still work when sending messages.

This is a lighter weight solution to become_root()/unbecome_root()
(which swaps all the supplemental groups) and should be more
efficient. I will migrate all server code over to using this
(a similar technique should be used in the passdb backend
where needed).

Jeremy.
