Bug#854392: Run "make check" as root via autopkgtest

[Michael Biebl]

Source: systemd
Version: 232-15
Severity: normal

Several of the upstream tests require root privileges as otherwise they
do nothing:
if (geteuid() != 0)
        return;

It seems we missed issues because of that like the recent RAS/seccomp
incident has shown [1].
E.g. test-seccomp was rightfully failing on i386, because the seccomp
sandboxing is not working properly there, but this went unnoticed.

Copying individual tests into the -dev packages [2] is a slight
improvement, but it's kinda ugly to ship the test binaries in the
package and it requires ongoing maintenance.
Most importantly, it's incomplete, there are a few more tests which
require root privs and that list is changing over time.

We should run the complete test suite as root via autopkgtest.
