[arch-projects] [initscripts][PATCH 2/2] rc.d: Add check to cleanly abort rc.d script if user doesn't have root privileges

[Eric Bélanger]

This implements FS#24095. The check is only made for the start, stop and restart
actions of the daemon scripts. This allows regular user to use the help and list
functionality of rc.d and also to use rc.d for actions that doesn't require root
privileges, like the status action of some daemon scripts.
