WITH_INSTALL_AS_USER never worked except in select individual directories.
Anything complicated caused it to break and it definitely never worked
for installworld. For installworld you want NO_ROOT.
NO_ROOT support should be migrated to share/mk/* rather than overriding
things in Makefile.inc1 and WITH_INSTALL_AS_USER should be removed or
made into a synonym for NO_ROOT.
