ping and traceroute require root permissions #6

The ping and traceroute commands now require root permissions in order to execute. The app has to handle this in any way – or the tools should be removed.

OK, the cause and a fix is documented here: https://together.jolla.com/question/185512/ping-permission-denied/?answer=185703#post-id-185703

Current idea would be to document this issue as it is the cleanest way and would not break anything on the system.
