Have ClamAV use the default _clamav-user

Description (last modified by mf2k (Frank Schima))

Upon installation, clamav claims it needs a new user and group, and a folder needs to be chowned in order for the virus updates to work.

(This relates to this bug: "BUG: clamav permissions not correct on virus db/config files not set correctly" ticket:11334 )

Snow Leopard comes with a default _clamav (UID:82) user. It would be awesome if the installer could use this default user to set the correct permissions on the approriate folders. That way they only thing you need to do to get it running is alter the config-files.

Both the supported versions of mac os x ship with a clamav user and group, which clamav can autodetect - so I've committed r59048
