USB passthrough requires sudo for certain devices #26

First, thanks for quickemu!

Following the example in the README for Windows10 (I also have a Logitech C920), I get the error that the requested USB devices are NOT accessible, permission denied.

If I run quickemu with sudo I get a few different errors...so I simply added sudo line 131 which worked.

I could open a PR, but I'm not sure if this breaks anything else, or why it's not sudo in the first place.

It's not been week submitting issues. Closed as the script is invoked with sudo if the devices are not available. I'm not sure why it's apparently non-deterministic if they're available or not but oh well.
