scripts: check for running as root

Running as root is really, really dangerous.

Add a runtime-check that refuses to build if running as root.
Can be overriden with a double switch in the menuconfig.

+      You normally do *not* need to be root to build a toolchain using
+      crosstool-NG. In fact, it is *VERY* dangerous to run as root, as
+      crosstool-NG will, as part of the build process, remove a few
+      directories. If anything goes wrong, running as root can ruin
+      your host distribution.
