REVISION SUMMARY
  From the discussion in D12732 <https://phabricator.kde.org/D12732>, it turned out that nobody really objects to allowing dolphin to run as the actual root user, since in that an environment there is no additional security vulnerability beyond what you're already exposing yourself to. So, let's re-enable it.

TEST PLAN
  Log in as normal user and run `sudo dolphin`; you get an error message.
  Log in as the root user and run `sudo dolphin; you can do it.

REPOSITORY
  R318 Dolphin

BRANCH
  allow-execution-as-root-user (branched from master)
