Adding an option to ignore processes owned by root #283

Closed miljank closed 1 year ago

This PR addresses situations where important system operations, like OS upgrades, are interrupted by earlyoom. In environments where majority of workload is generated by user processes, it should be safe to leave root processes out of earlyoom.

Closes #267

Do let me know if there is anything else I need to do to get this PR accepted.
