When already running as the daemon user, don't "sudo" daemon commands

Summary:
The cluster synchronization code runs either actively (before returning a response to `git clone`, for example) or passively (routinely, as the daemons update reposiories).

The active sync runs as the web user (if running `git clone http://...`) or the VCS user (if running `git clone ssh://...`). But the passive sync runs as the daemon user.

All of these sync processes need to run actual commands as the daemon user (`git fetch ...`).

For the active ones, we must `sudo`.

For the passive ones, we're already the right user. We run the same code, and end up trying to sudo to ourselves, which `sudo` isn't happy about by default.

Depending on how `sudo` is configured and which users things are running as this might work anyway, but it's silly and if it doesn't work it requires you to go make non-obvious, weird config changes that are unintuitive and somewhat nonsensical. This is probably worse on the balance than adding a bit of complexity to the code.

Instead, test which user we're running as. If it's already the right user, don't sudo.

Test Plan:
  - Ran `bin/repository update --trace` as daemon user, saw no more `sudo`.
  - Ran a `git clone` to make sure that didn't break.
