shadow: enable support for subordinate IDs

The subordinate IDs support in pkg-shadow allows unprivileged users to manage a
set of UIDs and GIDs. These subordinate IDs are specified by root, and can be
further used by the unprivileged user they have been assigned to. This user can
then create an e.g. user namespace, where he is allowed to manage his own set of
users and group from the pool of subordinate IDs. More details can be found at
http://lwn.net/Articles/533617/.

Pull a required change from upstream in order to make shadow cross-compile with
subordinate IDs support. Enable flag in recipe.

Changes since v1:
- update changelog
