(see #19)

[x] Implement a check for UID 0 somewhere when loading the module and exit with a proper error-message.
[x] Update the README to contain some words about why the module requires root-access and how the LED-driver could be split out into a seperate process using something like a LED-driver deamon and https://github.com/raspberry-node/node-openpixelcontrol
