bash: run bash ptest as non-root user

new-exp ptest fails as it expects non-root user.

>From the failed ptest log:
   < new-exp.tests: the test suite should not be run as root
   628c627
   < argv[1] = <host(2)[5.0]# >
   ---
   > argv[1] = <host(2)[5.0]$ >
   FAIL: run-new-exp

Many of the ptests declare that they should not be run as root
and a few fail since the expected result strings are for a
user shell.

When ptests are run as bash_user (non-root) the glob test
fails with error:
    run-glob-test
    59,60d58
    < touch: cannot touch 'a?': Permission denied
    < touch: cannot touch 'aa': Permission denied

So ensure that the bash/ptest/tests directory is owned by the
bash_user while the tests are being run and return it to root
owner afterwards.
