Init the distrobox (not to be launched manually)

6       distrobox-init  is  the  entrypoint  of a created distrobox.  Note that
7       this HAS to run from inside a distrobox, will not work if  you  run  it
8       from your host.
9
10       This  is  not  intended  to  be used manually, but instead used by dis‐
11       trobox-enter to set up the container’s entrypoint.
12
13       distrobox-init will take care of installing missing  dependencies  (eg.
14       sudo),  set  up the user and groups, mount directories from the host to
15       ensure the tight integration.

17       Usage:

19              distrobox-init --name test-user --user 1000 --group 1000 --home /home/test-user
