Jakob Unterwurzacher e42d2d1da8 restore: suppress lchown errors when not running as root

Like "cp -a" and "rsync -a" do, only report lchown errors if we run
as root.

Like cp from GNU coreutils does, we check Geteuid() to determine if
we are running as root
( http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/tree/src/copy.c#n3012 ).

On Windows, lchown errors are always reported.

 Enhancement: restore: suppress lchown errors when not running as root
 Like "cp" and "rsync" do, restic now only reports errors for changing
 the ownership of files during restore if it is run as root, on non-Windows
 operating systems. On Windows, the error is reported as usual.
