Bug 25481: Pass --user to start-stop-daemon when a pidfile is used

Since D10, the behaviour of start-stop-daemon changed, see from its
manual:
"""
Warning:  using this match option with a world-writable pidfile or using it
alone with a daemon that writes the pidfile as an unprivileged (non-root) user
will be refused with an error (since
version 1.19.3) as this is a security risk, because either any user can write
to it, or if the daemon gets compromised, the contents of the pidfile cannot be
trusted, and  then  a  privileged
runner (such as an init script executed as root) would end up acting on any
system process.  Using /dev/null is exempt from these checks.
"""

Test plan:
koha-plack --restart kohadev
should success with this patch.
Without this patch you get:
start-stop-daemon: matching only on non-root pidfile
/var/run/koha/kohadev/plack.pid is insecure
