move root check to lib.sh (bugfix)

this avoids writing the version/versiondate files as root.

this complements the previous fix, that avoided writing those
same files when running the dependencies command.

initial setup of the build system requires root, to run the
dependencies script, but otherwise the build system prevents
running as root for everything else, so we must avoid writing
the version/versiondate files as root.

that same avoidance is necessary when checking whether running
other commands as root; ironically, this check then prevented
running the build system at all!

the bug should be fully fixed now. i found this quite by accident
the other day, when testing something else.

good thing this got fixed because the release!
