Message:

Suppress a waring if running pip3 as root.

In serveral places we use the pip3 command to install Python 3 programs
and modules for all users as root. This conflicts with the Python
developers' recommendation to build packages in a virtual environment as
a regular user. To this end, a multi-line warning is written when using
pip3 as the root user.

This change shows users how to avoid this warning.
