I guess that having a small helper to execute commands as a selected
user would be reasonable. We already have tst_sleep because the sleep
commands in different shells behaves differently.

Adding tst_sudo that would take an user and command to execute does make
sense here I suppose. And I think that the question if we need a
separate user for LTP testing is orthogonal.
