  1. Meta: Do not ignore error message with exec 

    When calling sub-programs from shell with exec, the useful || die
idiom does not actually do anything, since the first script is gone.

  2. Meta: Use consistent indents in build-image-qemu.sh 

    This is a whitespace only commit to avoid confusion with the
next feature commit.

  3. Meta: Use fuse2fs if available to avoid root when building image 

    The fuse2fs tool that is part of e2fsprogs-1.46 has a 'fakeroot'
mount option.  This allows a non-root users to modify file ownership
and permissions without actually being root.  This package is
available in Debian bullseye and buster-backports.

If available, the script assumes the user wants to use it.
Otherwise, it falls back to the usual root requirements.

Now that root is not required, the root check in
build-root-filesystem.sh is not necessary.  Since
build-root-filesystem.sh has 'set -e' enabled, removing this check
will not cause a change in functionality.
