libqmi-glib,proxy: add a configure flag to set the user ID of QMI proxy
Currently, the QMI proxy process assumes that it is run as root user and that all incoming client connection users are also root. However, it's not always preferable to run the QMI proxy as root for security reasons. On some platforms, the QMI proxy could be constrained to run as a less-privileged user and specially granted the permission to access the QMI device. So, adding a compile time flag in libqmi to check for the specified user, rather than assume it to be the root user. If the flag is not sent, it'll revert to the existing behaviour of checking for user=root(i.e UID=0)
