[Bug 205280] Make 'make makeplist' generate @owner, @group, and @sample

--- Comment #10 from Baptiste Daroussin <bapt at FreeBSD.org> ---
This is going backward, the user running do-install has no reason at all to run
as root. The whole point of the @owner/... is exactly to prevent having to be
root. Also you do not need to have a user created on the system to be able to
package a files as the given user.

Having make makeplist behaving differently when run as a user and run as root
is something we probably don't want.

Enforcing the user to be root to work on a simple port is also going backward.
I am really happy not having anymore to be root to do 90% of my work.

even passing to poudriere is done as a user for me (given I use a specially
hacked version of poudriered)
