Add --no-sudo option to skip all operations that require sudo#474
Conversation
When running benchmarks on machines without sudo access, the CPU configuration (turbo boost, min_perf_pct, frequency governor) cannot be set or verified. The --no-sudo flag skips the entire CPUConfig setup, which includes both the sudo-dependent writes and the checks that exit when the expected configuration isn't detected.

Nice! Personally I use this when I just run a benchmark to check if it runs fine or getting stats or so, and I don't want to make my machine stay in "benchmark mode / don't save power mode" after. (one could run the benchmark directly without |

--no-sudooption that skips all operations that require sudo.When running benchmarks for testing behaviors or collecting stats, it's just annoying that it prompts me to input sudo password after some period of time. So I want to use this
--no-sudoin that case.--turbo#307 currently serves a similar purpose, but it doesn't disable themin_perf_pctfeature which also requires sudo and it annoys me. I'm not deleting--turboin this PR; I want to remove--turbolater to leave some time for people to migrate to it.While #354 is in progress to land
--no-benchmark-mode, I want to have this feature before finishing the whole refactoring, and I want the name to be shorter because I often need to type it locally.
