Set up buildroot permissions for non-root access

[geofffranks]

In https://concourse.ci/running-tasks.html, it mentions that we can use the USER rule in our Dockerfile to control what user a task runs as. However, when doing so, that user doesn't have access to write into the build directory.

For my immediate case, it means I cannot run godep restore on code that was placed in the build as an input. I also suspect it will mean that i cannot create/write to output directories from this task.

Can concourse be made to change permissions on the build directory to the user specified in the dockerfile?

@vito Did you mean to point to another issue? Closing an issue as a duplicate of itself seems funky.

Also, is there any workaround as of now, other than using sudo to chown the build dir?

yep probably meant #403
