Description:
Should not require root privileges to run the -h option. If run without root privileges with just -h argument, returns:
[mkarchiso] ERROR: This script must be run as root.
It's not really a big deal, but is a little fishy to use sudo just to read the usage.

Additional info:
* Version: archiso 39-1

Steps to reproduce:
Run: "mkarchiso -h"

@bisen2: Thanks for the report and sorry it took so long to get picked up.

This will be fixed with the release of archiso v47.
