Simon McVittie 821aff4e19 Makefile: Automatically use fakemachine if not uid 0 ...

fakemachine launches a virtual machine reusing the host system's /usr,
and runs commands as root on that virtual machine. It's used by debos,
but can also be used to wrap arbitrary commands, in particular vmdb2;
it's enough to run the parts of vmdb2 that need to mount filesystems
and run apt.

This won't work if fakemachine isn't available (in particular on non-x86),
but that seems better than just failing altogether.
