Description

Currently using the rpm-docker container for building Metron RPMs will only work on Docker for Mac due to permissions issues on the SOURCE/* and SPEC/* files.

When using docker-machine (e.g. boot2docker) or a local docker install on Linux, the build fails due to "Bad owner/group." After some research, this apparently occurs due to the uid/gid of the files not being a valid user and/or group in the container OS.

I'd like to avoid changing permissions on these files to root, so that the developer can maintain non-root ownership of the files in his/her development environment. To do that, I propose adding a few checks to the build.sh script to:

1. check if the owner of the SPEC/metron.spec file exists in the container OS
2. if not, create that user
3. once the build is complete, change ownership of the build files (e.g. RPMs) to the original owner
