Slavi Pantaleev 299a8c4c7c Make (most) containers start as non-root
This makes all containers (except mautrix-telegram and
mautrix-whatsapp), start as a non-root user.

We do this, because we don't trust some of the images.
In any case, we'd rather not trust ALL images and avoid giving
`root` access at all. We can't be sure they would drop privileges
or what they might do before they do it.

Because Postfix doesn't support running as non-root,
it had to be replaced by an Exim mail server.

The matrix-nginx-proxy nginx container image is patched up
(by replacing its main configuration) so that it can work as non-root.
It seems like there's no other good image that we can use and that is up-to-date
(https://hub.docker.com/r/nginxinc/nginx-unprivileged is outdated).

Likewise for riot-web (https://hub.docker.com/r/bubuntux/riot-web/),
we patch it up ourselves when starting (replacing the main nginx
configuration).
Ideally, it would be fixed upstream so we can simplify.

# This is a custom nginx configuration file that we use in the container (instead of the default one),
# because it allows us to run nginx with a non-root user.
#
# For this to work, the default vhost file (`/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf`) also needs to be removed.
#
# The following changes have been done compared to a default nginx configuration file:
# - various temp paths are changed to `/tmp`, so that a non-root user can write to them
# - the `user` directive was removed, as we don't want nginx to switch users
