readprofile: (man) clarify not designed for privilege-elevation use

Add a note to the DESCRIPTION that readprofile is a diagnostic tool
not intended for security-sensitive contexts (setuid, setgid, sudo).
Remove the suggestion to make readprofile set-user-ID 0 from the -r
option, and drop sudo from the example.
