[PATCH] checkupdates: use $UID instead of $USER in temporary directory path

[Johannes Löthberg]

Excerpts from nl6720's message of November 20, 2019 17:57:
> If $USER is not set when running checkupdates, the temporary directory's
> name will be "checkup-db-". This will cause issues if multiple users run
> checkupdates. A common situation where $USER is not set is when a command
> is executed with systemd-run, e.g. from a systemd unit.
> See https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/8227 for details.
> 
> Replace the usage of $USER with $UID since it is guaranteed to exist and so
> that the temporary directory is isolated per-user.
