Shihao Ren a38b4c39ff analyze: don't treat user-scope services as running as root in security
`systemd-analyze security --user foo.service` currently flags units
without `User=` as running as root. For user manager instances this is
impossible: per systemd.exec(5), switching user identity is not
permitted there, so the service always runs under the calling user's
UID.

Track the runtime scope inside SecurityInfo and short-circuit
security_info_runs_privileged() and assess_user() for
RUNTIME_SCOPE_USER, so that User=/DynamicUser=, SupplementaryGroups=
and RemoveIPC= are no longer marked as if the service ran as root in
both the bus-backed and --offline paths.

Fixes #40292
