Scott Kuhl 915497f73f Warn about adding sshuttle to sudoers.
Issue #631 suggests that we should warn about users who add sshuttle
to sudoers because it isn't obvious that when a user can run sshuttle
as root, they can run any command as root using sshuttle's -e or
--ssh-cmd parameters.

This patch adds a comment that warns about this problem to the sudoers
file. It also prints the warning to the console if the user uses an
option that writes the data directly to the file. This patch also
causes the output of the sudoers-add command to be printed to the
console so that the user can see the name of the file that was
created.

There is room for improvement: Warnings could be added to the
documentation and/or these parameters could be removed entirely.

sshuttle: where transparent proxy meets VPN meets ssh
=====================================================

As far as I know, sshuttle is the only program that solves the following
common case:

- Your client machine (or router) is Linux, FreeBSD, or MacOS.

- You have access to a remote network via ssh.

- You don't necessarily have admin access on the remote network.

- The remote network has no VPN, or only stupid/complex VPN
  protocols (IPsec, PPTP, etc). Or maybe you *are* the
  admin and you just got frustrated with the awful state of
  VPN tools.

- You don't want to create an ssh port forward for every
  single host/port on the remote network.

- You hate openssh's port forwarding because it's randomly
  slow and/or stupid.

- You can't use openssh's PermitTunnel feature because
  it's disabled by default on openssh servers; plus it does
  TCP-over-TCP, which has `terrible performance`_.
