Chef::ScanAccessControl#set_owner

Set the owner attribute of +current_resource+ to whatever the current
state is. Attempts to match the format given in new_resource: if the
new_resource specifies the owner as a string, the username for the uid
will be looked up and owner will be set to the username, and vice versa.
