Running autoport as root has the annoying side effect of making all
generated files owned by root. Prevent this by using sudo to invoke
log-making programs (lspci, dmidecode, acpidump, inteltool, ectool,
superiotool). These programs either need to be run as root or allow
collecting more information if run as root (lspci).
In case there's a valid reason not to use sudo, provide a prompt to
let autoport run the programs directly, as it originally did. There
might be someone trying to run autoport from an OS that lacks sudo.

The original approach to call external programs was rather convoluted
and would fall back to running executables inside the current working
directory if running them from the location specified in the code did
not succeed, swallowing any errors from the first invocation.
Rewrite the system around the `LogMakingProgram` concept, a struct to
represent a program. Each program has a name, prefixes to try running
it from and the arguments to pass to it (if any). Plus, collect error
information from failed executions, but only show it when none of the
prefixes resulted in a successful invocation.
In addition, look for programs in PATH instead of CWD: it is unlikely
that all utils will be in the CWD, but utils can be in the PATH after
one installs them (`sudo make install`). For coreboot utils, look for
them in the utils folder first as the installed versions might not be
up-to-date.
Furthermore, print out the command about to be executed, as there are
some commands (e.g. `ectool` on boards without an EC) that can take a
very long time to complete.

The warning is printed using Printf syntax but actually Println is used
resulting in printing the format string first and the arguments second:
"%s. (%s) Default:%s WARNING: [...]"

Variable name of inteltoolArgs was fixed.
The way of passing arguments to inteltool was changed from "-a -f"
to "-af" which is better as the string seems to be parsed
as a single argument.

Previously I tried to see if Linux think that port 0x60 is in use by keyboard.
Unfortunately it always thinks that it is. Instead just base off real input
busses used.
