Container sets its data directory's owner and mode itself (#353)
check / check (push) Waiting to run

Closes #340.

The image no longer sets `USER`. Its new `ENTRYPOINT`, `deploy/docker-entrypoint.sh`, starts as root, creates `DATA_DIR` if missing, gives the directory and anything in it owned by another user to `webhooker` (UID 1000), sets the directory to `0750`, and runs the command as `webhooker` through `su-exec`. An empty root-owned bind mount, or data left by another UID, now works as mounted; the app never runs as root and is still PID 1. `CMD` is still `/app/webhooker`, so the `resetpw` commands are unchanged. Started with `--user`, the script only runs the command. It is in `/usr/local/bin`, not `/app`, which belongs to `webhooker`.

README: the UID 1000 ownership block, the upaas pre-deploy commands and the restore ownership step are gone; the upaas volume bullet names only the path.

- Judgement call: `su-exec` over `setpriv`: Alpine's small tool for this, needing only musl; busybox's `setpriv` cannot change user, and util-linux's adds `libcap-ng`.
- Deviation: `su-exec` is pinned by version (`0.2-r3`), not by hash; `ca-certificates` beside it is unpinned.
- Judgement call: each start reads every entry's owner but changes only entries owned by someone else.
- `docker exec` and the health check now run as root, since the image sets no `USER`.
- No automated test covers the script: the suite runs inside `docker build`, which cannot start a container.
- A missing host directory under upaas is sneak/upaas#235.
