pygrub: security-supported only when run de-privileged
XSA-443 and XSA-497 addressed specific issues in specific file system
drivers (libfsimage) used by pygrub. Further issues were reported, and yet
more are to be expected. XSA-443 introduced a means to run pygrub de-
privileged. Only this mode of operation is security supported from now on.
This is XSA-508.
