Local provider - isolating sudo usage

[Andrew Wilkins]

The core local provider changes have been merged now. For a summary of how
the local provider bootstraps now, see:
https://codereview.appspot.com/55880043/

I removed this bits that chown to the user from the local provider. I
can't, unfortunately, easily remove the only other remaining part: chowning
the ~/.juju/ssh dir and keys. Suggestions welcome.

Cheers,
Andrew
