diff hooks use uid/gid switch functionality that is otherwise only needed for linux sandbox setup and unsupported by posix_spawn. not doing these switches inside lix core code may let us move to using posix_spawn for most process launching in the future, and for diff hooks the added overhead of a wrapper program really does not hurt at all. diff hooks are expected to be expensive in terms of output size, process launch overhead is not likely to even be noticeable.
