Sudo can be used in several ways other than calling a command with the root user. For example, one can use -u to run the command as the specified user, or -g to specify a primary group to run the command as. Flatpak adds a check when --user is used to prevent an installation in the root's directory, for example, but it does it by only checking if sudo was used. As stated previously, it does not necessarily imply root, so this patch explicitly checks if the command is being run with the root user.
