gunicorn/util.py set_owner_process Mangling gid on RHEL8 + Google Cloud Platform (very large int group id)

[jbisbee]

I'm using Python 3.9.18 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. My uid and gid values are crazy high under RHEL8 and Google Cloud Platform. As a result, they are hitting a hard coded condition within gunicorn/util.py

151 # versions of python < 2.6.2 don't manage unsigned int for
152 # groups like on osx or fedora
153 gid = abs(gid) & 0x7FFFFFFF

Where my gid is being changed from 4133075255 to 1985591607 and then because they don't match, gid is attempted to be set and gunicorn dies because I'm not a priveledged user and I don't have permission to set gid (which is only firing off because my gid was unjustly molested 👎)

Fairly certain that was a spot-fix for a bug that no longer appears on any supported system/version.
.. and Gunicorn should not only drop that line, but also stop messing with uid/gid/groups altogether when there is no need to.
