On fast machines sfdisk has some sort of race where it

This commit works around the problem by calling
blockdev --rereadpt after sfdisk operations, which

Fix error launching libguestfs when euid != uid.
When writing to a RHEV target, virt-v2v launches the libguestfs
appliance with euid:egid = 36:36, which is required to write to
an NFS target using root_squash.
Since we changed to using a cached appliance, this causes an error on
start up, as the cached files are owned by root, but the cache directory
is owned by 36:36. The reason is that bash resets euid to uid and
egid to gid so when febootstrap-supermin-helper is executed, it runs as
root:root. The cache directory was created by libguestfs directly so
it has the correct ownership.
This patch fixes the issue by using explicit fork/exec instead of
system (ie. not going via a shell) and by setting the real UID and
GID to the effective UID and GID before execing.
