Subject: [PATCH] Fix NO_ROOT_MAILER, broken by the eventlog refactor in sudo
1.9.4. init_eventlog_config() is called immediately after initializing the
Defaults settings, which is before struct sudo_user is setup. This adds a
call to eventlog_set_mailuid() if NO_ROOT_MAILER is defined after the
invoking user is determined. Reported by Roman Fiedler.
(cherry picked from commit e5ad88488d57dd30a7f08f46b395bccfd3957293)
