On menu.sh start, store current UID and GID to .env, if they are missing.
Use these to run services that support custom user.

-If the first three assumptions hold, assumptions four through six are Raspberry Pi defaults on a clean installation. The seventh is what you get if you follow these instructions faithfully.
+- You are logged-in as the user "pi".
+- The home directory for user "pi" is `/home/pi/`.
+- IOTstack is installed at `/home/pi/IOTstack` (with that exact spelling).
 
 Please don't read these assumptions as saying that IOTstack will not run on other hardware, other operating systems, or as a different user. It is just that IOTstack gets most of its testing under these conditions. The further you get from these implicit assumptions, the more your mileage may vary.
