[Bug 1431421] [NEW] adt-run could export the SUDO_ASKPASS variable to the testbed

[Brendan Donegan]

Public bug reported:

It would be good to store the location of the SUDO_ASKPASS script on the
testbed, so that specific commands can be run as root even though the
rest of the test is running as the user.
