Description:

`checkupdates --download` runs pacman with sudo even if checkupdates is executed as root. root doesn't need to elevate privileges and it creates an unnecessary dependency on sudo.
If sudo in not installed, the following error is shown:
/usr/bin/checkupdates: line 287: sudo: command not found


Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any
pacman-contrib 1.2.0-3

Steps to reproduce:
On a systemd without sudo, run checkupdates -d
