steampipe assumes that the data-dir is owned by the user running steampipe.

It should check that the data-dir is indeed owned by the user running steampipe and error out if not.

If it continues, then the underlying service will error out silently - rendering steampipe unusable with a cryptic error message: Error: could not establish connection with database
