7b1ffc1410 feat: Automate file ownership setting from host migration process
- Added a step to deploy_chatmail() that sets ownership of paths that
  are copied over as part of the upgrade process.
- Removed manual chown step from README.md.

3ce350de9e feat: Check whether GCC is installed in initenv.sh
- Before proceeding with installation of Python dependencies, check
  whether the 'gcc' command is available by running it with the
  --version argument.  If it is not available, print a helpful message
  and exit.
- For the current set of Python dependencies, without GCC, the build
  process fails when building the crypt-r package.  According to the
  error message, on my system the exact command it tries to run is
  'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc', but rather than depend on this variant
  specifically, the script checks for the generic 'gcc' command, so as
  to avoid coupling the check to an architecture or operating system.
  Similar problems arise if we attempt to check for packages by name;
  the compiler binary is provided by 'gcc-11', but the symlinks that
  provide the unversioned commands (as used by the Python build) come
  from a package named 'gcc'.  Trying to be too precise in what we
  check for could lead to unnecessary failures in some environments,
  or become a maintenance challenge in the future.  For that reason,
  this change simply attempts to run 'gcc' and uses that as a
  probably-sufficient proxy for having what the Python package install
  will need.

1e05974970 feat: Make sure build-essential is installed
- The Python modules installed by initenv.sh require a compiler to build.
- Revised initenv.sh to check whether build-essential is installed
  before proceeding, if the system is based on Debian or Ubuntu.

577c04d537 feat: Add try blocks around Git commands in cmdeploy/__init__.py
- Added 'try' blocks around the 'git rev-parse' and 'git diff'
  commands that are run in deploy_chatmail().  If there is an error
  running rev-parse, git_hash is set to "unknown".  If there is an
  error running diff, git_diff is set to the null string.
- This allows the deployment process work in two scenarios that would
  otherwise fail with an exception:
    - Systems where the 'git' command is not available.
    - When running with a copy of the tree content of chatmail/relay,
      but without a copy of the .git directory.

Postfix and Dovecot are disabled for now; we will enable them later.
We first need to make the new site fully operational.
3. On the new site, run the following to ensure the ownership is correct in case UIDs/GIDs changed:
