.deb/.rpm: various fixes related to non-root
* Explicitly chown /var/lib/osmocom to osmocom:osmocom, instead of
relying on systemd to do it when the service starts up. This does not
work with the systemd versions in debian 10 and almalinux 8.
* deb: Use "useradd" instead of the interactive "adduser" perl script
from Debian. This makes it consistent with how we do it in rpm, and
avoids the dependency on "adduser".
* deb: Consistently use tabs through the file, instead of mixing tabs
and spaces.
* deb: Remove support for the "dpkg-statoverride --list" logic. This
seems to be a rather obscure feature to override permissions for
certain files or directories, for which it does not seem to be a good
idea to make the postinst script less maintainable. Something similar
can be achieved by using your own Osmocom config file in a different
path with different permissions.
