util/autoport: Use sudo to call log-making programs
Running autoport as root has the annoying side effect of making all
generated files owned by root. Prevent this by using sudo to invoke
log-making programs (lspci, dmidecode, acpidump, inteltool, ectool,
superiotool). These programs either need to be run as root or allow
collecting more information if run as root (lspci).
In case there's a valid reason not to use sudo, provide a prompt to
let autoport run the programs directly, as it originally did. There
might be someone trying to run autoport from an OS that lacks sudo.
