[PATCH] mq: add --setuser and --user options to qnew and qrefresh

[Peter Arrenbrecht]

Brendan, sorry, I discussed this a bit with Patrick on IRC. I also
didn't like "resetuser" and proposed "currentuser", or even
"--user=current" (but this would be a problem for people needing the
string "current" as a user name). So I guess "currentuser", which
Patrick also liked, is able to unite a majority behind it :)

Shall update, and also fix the tests to use a shell function for
repetitive stuff (as Patrick suggested).
