[PATCH 5/9] kdbus: perform accounting on proxied uids

If a connection proxies a uid, we should make sure to perform accounting
on that passed uid. Otherwise, limits will be shared across all proxied
users (or we'd require the proxy to run setuid() and thus require
CAP_SETUID).
However, this is only allowed if the proxy is privileged on the bus. That
is, it must have CAP_IPC_ADMIN on the domain and the passed uid must be
mapped in that domain.
