The docker.py script expands the dockerfiles with a:

  "RUN id %s 2>/dev/null || useradd -u %d -U %s"

when they are built so when they are invoked for building TCG tests they
won't mess up permissions of the final files. It is a useful convenience
for the other images as well so you can access compilers and tools with
something like:

  docker run --rm -it -u (id -u) -v $HOME:$HOME -w (pwd) qemu/debian-arm64-cross /bin/bash

however it's not required for the normal cross-compile tests as they are
all done inside the docker image. The alpine image being slim doesn't
have this nicety although there is an adduser binary. However given we
don't use alpine for TCG tests I demurred from adding more complexity to
docker.py to handle it.
