Makefile: Automatically use fakemachine if not uid 0 

fakemachine launches a virtual machine reusing the host system's /usr,
and runs commands as root on that virtual machine. It's used by debos,
but can also be used to wrap arbitrary commands, in particular vmdb2;
it's enough to run the parts of vmdb2 that need to mount filesystems
and run apt.

This won't work if fakemachine isn't available (in particular on non-x86),
but that seems better than just failing altogether.

[raspi_master.yaml](raspi_master.yaml).
A Makefile is supplied to drive the build of the recipes into images.
Some portions of building the image will require root privileges, thus
you'll need to execute *make* below as root.
If `fakemachine` is installed, it can be run as an unprivileged user.
Otherwise, because some steps of building the image require root privileges,
you'll need to execute `make` as root.
The argument to `make` is constructed as follows:
