    setusercontext(): Fix gap when setting a realtime-class priority

    The login.conf's "priority" capability allows to set priorities in the
    idle or realtime classes in addition to the classical nice values (-20
    to 20), through a natural extension where values greater than 20 put the
    processes in the idle class (with priority adjusted within RTP_PRIO_MIN
    and RTP_PRIO_MAX, 21 being converted to 0, 22 to 1, etc.) and values
    lower than -20 put the process in the realtime class (with priority
    adjusted within RTP_PRIO_MIN and RTP_PRIO_MAX, -21 being converted to
    RTP_PRIO_MAX (31), -22 to 30, etc.).

    Before this fix, in the latter case (realtime class), -21 was converted
    to 30, and RTP_PRIO_MAX (31) could never be specified.

    While here, change the priority computation for the idle-class case to
    be symmetrical and use RTP_PRIO_MIN (in practice, this changes nothing
    at all, since RTP_PRIO_MIN is 0; but this is the correct theoretical
    formula, which would work as well with other values of RTP_PRIO_MIN).
