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"
This task depends upon
