Subject: utils: add nullauth utility

nullauth drops all authentication credentials and runs the given
program. This is also useful to drop privileges on behalf of
translators that do not need any credentials in some circumstances,
e.g.

  % settrans -ap /hurd/nullauth -- /hurd/storeio -Tzero

makes storeio run without any credentials.

* utils/nullauth.c: New file.
* utils/Makefile: Build nullauth.
