Docker: avoid changing userid unnecessarily (#11209)

* Docker image: avoid changing user during `generate`

The intention was always that the config files get written as the initial user
(normally root) - only the data directory needs to be writable by Synapse. This
got changed in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/5970, but that seems
to have been a mistake.

* Avoid changing user if no explicit UID is given

* changelog

Avoid changing userid when started as a non-root user, and no explicit `UID` is set.

For more complex setups (e.g. for workers) you can also pass your args directly to synapse using `run` mode. For example like this:
