mod_posix: Remove ancient undocumented user switching
User switching has been done by prosodyctl or init scripts for a very
long time now, so this is not needed.
Using this would not have worked with module reloading (e.g. to reload
certificates) since ports are closed and re-bound, which would then not
be allowed.
Today there exists better ways to grant low ports, i.e. capabilities(7)
<Zash> Why do we have this?
