[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Axe the experimental non-privileged chroot support from b4c832ca (PR #2668)

While the chroot call itself works nicely for a regular user with this, user/group mapping does not and cannot be made to work, because that requires a fork and we cannot very well fork the process from deep down here.

Better to put the irrepairable thing out of its misery, users are far better of wrapping rpm with the unshare command instead.
