vppctl: Do not use sudo if already root
When using sudo, environment variable such as the PATH are overwritten. This patch just checks if user is already root and does not use sudo in such situation. This allows using approaches like: sudo env PATH=path/to/vpp-binary/:$PATH vppctl Not really important in production setups, but this is handy for testing.
