Colin Walters ed15723cd1 lib/commit: Fix hardlink checkout commit with bare-user + mod xattrs
This is more subtle fallout from:
https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/pull/1170
AKA commit: 8fe45362578a43260876134d6547ebd0bb2485c3

Before, if we found a devino cache hit, we'd use it unconditionally.

Recall that `bare-user` repositories are very special in that they're the only
mode where the on disk state ("physical state") is not the "real" state. The
latter is stored in the `user.ostreemeta` xattr. (`bare-user` repos are also
highly special in that symlinks are regular files physically, but that's not
immediately relevant here).

Since we now have `bare-user-only` for the "pure unprivileged container" case,
`bare-user` should just be used for "OS builds" which have nonzero uids (and
possibly SELinux labels etc.)

In an experimental tool I'm writing "skopeo2ostree" which imports OCI images
into refs, then squashes them together into a single final commit, we lost the
the `81` group ID for `/usr/libexec/dbus-1/dbus-daemon-launch-helper`.

This happened because the commit code was loading the "physical" disk state,
where the uid/gid are zero because that's the uid I happened to be using. We
didn't just directly do the link speedup because I was using `--selinux-policy`
which caused the xattrs to change, which caused us to re-commit objects from the
physical state.

The unit test I added actually doesn't quite trigger this, but I left
it because "why not".  Really testing this requires the installed test
which uses SELinux policy from `/`.

The behavior without this fix looks like:

```
-00755 0 0     12 { [(b'user.ostreemeta', [byte 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x51, 0x00, 0x00, 0x81, 0xed]), (b'security.selinux', b'system_u:object_r:lib_t:s0')] } /usr/lib/dbus-daemon-helper
```

which was obviously totally broken - we shouldn't be picking up the
`user.ostreemeta` xattr and actually committing it of course.

This suite of tests is currently run from redhat-ci; they're intended to run as root.
