if file is inaccessible for _apt, disable privilege drop in acquire
We had a very similar method previously for our own private usage, but with some generalisation we can move this check into the acquire system proper so that all frontends profit from this compatibility change. As we are disabling a security feature here a warning is issued and frontends are advised to consider reworking their download logic if possible. Note that this is implemented as an all or nothing situation: We can't just (not) drop privileges for a subset of the files in a fetcher, so in case you have to download some files with and some without you need to use two fetchers.
