Crash on pixels with Android 8.1 and any devices with Android P in sys_startgui

[evabishchevich]

There is a problem with Pixel XL / Pixel 2 XL / Pixel / Pixel 2 after last Android security update.

During initialization process in https://github.com/libpd/libpd project there are function calls libpd_init -> sys_startgui -> setuid. Calling setuid is prohibited in Android starting Oreo.
Looks like it was already fixed in libpd/libpd@b8b972a#diff-77187871d46f57651997feb0748feffdL90.
The same behaviour was detected on Android P Preview.

@evabishchevich Could you test my pd_0.48 branch to see if it solves the issue?
#70

[tkirshboim]

Should be now fixed through #70

@tkirshboim I've tested it with pd 0.48.1 and it was fixed. I guess 0.48 fixed the issue too
