We don't need root with -Sp
FS#8905 is fixed. The front-end passes PM_TRANS_FLAG_NOLOCK to the back-end, so it doesn't lock the database. That's why we don't need root anymore. I reworked (and renamed) needs_transaction() accordingly. I also added missing -Sc check there (for example, -Sci didn't print non-root error, but pacman wanted to lock the database).
