Skip tests running locally without root access

[farbodahm]

After a short discussion with @tgross, I learned that some of the tests will fail if we run them locally and without root access.

This PR will add a functionality to skip tests if the tests:

• Are not running in CI environment (they are running locally)
• and if they are not running with Root access

Also it will log that the test is skipped, so if user wants to run them, she/he has to run it with root access.

In the current behavior, They are failing by saying something like: operation not permitted.

Note: I used make test | grep -C 5 "operation not permitted" to find which tests require Root access, But it may not contain all of the tests which require root access.

Please let me know if anything is needed; Thanks.

Hi @farbodahm! The CI run 7312099268 is showing a test panic in TestGenericNotifier in helper/broker/notify_test.go that you'll want to look into.

@tgross I double checked that the part which I changed didn't have any effect on the test which was failing. Also I ran the test with different parameters locally and it was fine; So I just re-run the CI (by force pushing) and everything is fine now.

Hey @farbodahm I'm tied up in another mini-project I'm trying to ship by end of the week. I'll pick this back up next week. Just wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten about this! 😀

@tgross No worries man, Please take your time and thanks for mentioning!

Hi @farbodahm! This looks pretty good once the changes I've posted are resolved.

LGTM!

I'll have to wait a day to merge this -- we're in a very brief merge freeze on main because 1.5.0 GA is coming out shortly. But once that's live I can get this in. Thanks again, @farbodahm!
