This verification is here for security reasons. Doesn't matter if it
takes a couple of system calls.
On Solaris (which has saved uids and gids but no getresuid, getresgid
functions), we could read /proc/<pid>/cred and verify the saved uid and
gid found there. But it's not clear to me when to interpret the file as a
'prcred_t' and when as a 'prcred32_t'.
Hao Chen, David Wagner, Drew Dean: Setuid Demystified
<https://www.usenix.org/legacy/publications/library/proceedings/sec02/full_papers/chen/chen.pdf>
section 8.1.3 also recommends to use a setreuid call as a probe, but
this call would unexpectedly succeed (and the verification thus fail)
on Linux if the process has the CAP_SETUID capability.
When the verification fails, it indicates that we need to use different
API in the code above. Therefore 'abort ()', not 'return -1'. */
