Prevent running pg_basebackup as root
Similarly to pg_upgrade, pg_ctl and initdb, a root user is able to use
--version and --help, but cannot execute the actual operation to avoid
the creation of files with permissions incompatible with the
postmaster.
This is a behavior change, so not back-patching is done.
