Be smart about asking for elevated privileges #304

Let's say your prefix is in /usr/ or somewhere else on the system. Currently, you need to run sudo pybombs, but then everything is run elevated.

If we add some smarts, we can run only the parts the need higher privileges as such. See issue #303 .

Your prefix should be /usr/local. Not /usr/. Ignore that.
