Right now, all tests in libgit2's CI are being executed as root user. As libgit2 will usually not run as a root user in "normal" usecases and furthermore as there are tests that rely on the ability to _not_ be able to create certain paths, let's instead create an unprivileged user "libgit2" and use that across all docker images.

Dockerfiles are now hosted in libgit2 itself, I'm thus moving this PR there |

Two possibilities: we could either create an entry point that chowns the build volume for us so that we can write into it, or alternatively we could
chmod a+rwxit in "azure-pipelines/docker.yml". I'd personally vote for the latter
