Description

This section of the docs: http://ceph.com/docs/master/start/quick-start-preflight/#configure-ssh talks about configuring ssh with a different user than
what the executing ceph-deploy is.

If someone is executing as `root` it will not use `sudo` on the remote end because `ceph-deploy` assumes that the connection will be done as root and
we want to avoid inserting `sudo` to commands for the root user.

A clear warning should be added to the pre-flight docs stating this possibility and making sure it is understood that executing as root means "no sudo will be added to commands".
