Victor Lowther b1197b3819 Have all os-refresh-config elements use su instead of sudo 
Using sudo -u to change users for a command can fail if sudo thinks it needs
a controlling TTY as part of its authentication.  Since this is the default config,
that means that whenever the command is run in an environment that does not have
a TTY (such as from init(1)), sudo will die.

su does not care or check for a controlling TTY, so it will succeed as long as
it is being run by root (which should be the case for all os-refresh-config elements).

Therefore, instead of using sudo -u <username> -- <command> to run commands as other
users, use su -s /bin/bash -c "<command>" <username>

This will allow things to function in the face of a misconfigured sudo as well as
allow commands to run against an account that has been locked out or has a shell
that otherwise restricts what commands can be run.
