uuidd: do not drop privileges
libuuid can (for now) spawn uuidd on-demand. To support this scenario,
uuidd should be installed setuid/setgid to have access to
/var/lib/libuuid/clock.txt. Therefore, dropping the privileges is
not functional, so removing this ability.
Moreover, the ability to spawn uuidd on-demand will be removed anyway.
