[daisy] Use non-root user to start daisy

[Paul Focke]

Hi

Using dedicated users for server applications is generally a good idea.
Of course if you want to have your server listen to a port which is
smaller than 1024 will not be allowed. That is why we usually place an
apache httpd server in front of daisy when we want to have daisy respond
on port 80. Explanation can be found here.
