Replace our sed-based patches for rootless chown issues with the upstream file_system.rb from OpenVoxProject/openvoxserver-ca#33. The upstream PR introduces an ensure_ownership helper that skips chown when not running as root, which covers both the file_system.rb chown calls and the forcibly_symlink used by symlink_to_old_cadir in setup.rb. This eliminates the need for both of our previous sed patches. Signed-off-by: Simon Lauger <simon@lauger.de>

I tested this against my operator image build. It replaces the sed-based workarounds. The image build and a |

Alternative to #30 and #32 that fixes the same rootless-container issue with a small refactor.
In rootless containers,
openvoxserver-camay run withoutCAP_CHOWN. In that case, theFileUtils.chowncalls infile_system.rbcan raiseErrno::EPERM, aborting commands such aspuppetserver ca setuporpuppetserver ca import.This PR consolidates ownership changes into a single helper:
FileSystem.ensure_ownership(path). The helper only performschownwhen running as root; otherwise it is a no-op. When running as non-root, the current process has created the path, so ownership is already correct.Note that
find_user_and_groupalready falls back to the current user when not running as root, so existing call sites effectively perform a no-opchownin that case.forcibly_symlinkbypasses this and uses the source UID/GID directly, which is what triggersEPERMin rootless environments.This PR makes the “should we chown at all?” decision explicit and consistent across all call sites.
Compared with #30 and #32, this keeps the same behavioral fix but centralizes the logic in one place, making it easier to reason about.
This preserves existing behavior when running as root.
