In 9289e093ae we started using install_emptydir().
When running unprivileged, 'DESTDIR=… meson install -C build --quiet --no-rebuild'
would emit two warnings:
'…/var/log/journal': Unable to set owner 'root' and group 'root': Operation not permitted, ignoring...
'…/var/log/journal/remote': Unable to set owner 'root' and group 'root': Operation not permitted, ignoring...
Those were the only two install_emptydir()s that specified ownership.
Let's drop the user/group specification to get rid of the warning.
When installing as root, we will create a root-owned directory anyway.
When not running as root, we cannot create a root-owned directory.
So this specification only makes a difference if we are running as root,
and the directory already existed, and was not owned by root. In that case,
I think it's actually better to leave the existing modification in place.
(E.g. maybe the admin chgrp'ed the ownership for whatever reason. We might
just as well leave that in place.)
