I like this idea, but I will hopefully get clearance to upload our go package that drops down to the current user when run as root (we actually run this with a binary built on that at Airbnb). I’ll leave this open for a while on the off chance I don’t get approval to open source what we’ve written. |

I'd like to be able to set the default browser within a root context like when automating deployment of a new Mac. Most of my onboarding tools run as root already, and though I could run as a user,
default-browserdoesn't currently have support for anything other than Go's built inCurrentUser. This PR adds--useras an optional flag when running as root/sudo. When--useris provided the launch services plist for that user is modified.com.apple.launchservices.secure.plistby getting the user's home dir, and not assuming/Users/$username.
