docker: set up the data directory in an entrypoint (closes #166)
check / check (push) Successful in 1m16s

The runtime image no longer sets USER. Its new entrypoint,
deploy/docker-entrypoint.sh, runs as root: it creates the data
directory if needed, gives it and everything in it to the dnswatcher
user (uid 10001) with mode 700 on the directory, then runs dnswatcher
as that user with su-exec. A bind-mounted host directory, whether
empty and root-owned or holding a state file left by another uid, no
longer has to be chowned first, and the README's upaas section now says
only which path to mount. The startup check that the data directory is
writable stays.

#!/bin/sh
# deploy/docker-entrypoint.sh: the Docker image's ENTRYPOINT. It runs as
# root only to give the data directory to the dnswatcher user: a host
# directory bind-mounted there keeps its host owner, often root, and may
# hold a state file left by another uid, which dnswatcher could neither
# read nor replace. dnswatcher itself always runs as the dnswatcher user.
