Support storage back ends that do not support extended file attributes #80

When using a storage back end in docker that does not support extended file attributes, the go-dnsmasq resolver is not able to bind to port 53 (or any other port < 1024).

Basically the line https://github.com/smebberson/docker-alpine/blob/master/alpine-base/Dockerfile#L18 has no effect when such a storage back end (aufs, btrfs - see moby/moby#30557) is used, so DNS fails in the container.

I suggest a simple workaround in https://github.com/smebberson/docker-alpine/blob/master/alpine-base/root/etc/services.d/resolver/run like this:

#!/usr/bin/with-contenv sh

RUNAS="go-dnsmasq"

setcap -v CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE=+eip /bin/go-dnsmasq
status=$?

if [ !$status ];
then
    RUNAS="root"
fi

s6-setuidgid ${RUNAS} go-dnsmasq --default-resolver --ndots "1" --fwd-ndots "0" --hostsfile=/etc/hosts >> $GO_DNSMASQ_LOG_FILE 2>&1

This makes go-dnsmasq run as root (instead of the go-dnsmasq user) if the capability is not set on the binary (which is the case when using a back end that does not support extended file attributes.
