makepkg: enforce fakeroot usage

Packaging outside of fakeroot can result in incorrect permissions for
package files.  It has been years since fakeroot issues during packaging
were common, so it is safe to enforce fakeroot usage.  If using fakeroot
is impossible for some reason, a two line wrapper script will suffice to
fool makepkg.

 	This array contains options that affect the build environment; the defaults

 	or disable an option, simply remove or add an ``!'' at the front of the
 	option. If an option is specified multiple times, the final value takes
 	precedence. Each option works as follows:
 
-	*fakeroot*;;
-		Allow building packages as a non-root user. This is highly recommended.
-
 	*distcc*;;
 		Use the distributed C/C++/ObjC compiler to spread compilation among
 		multiple machines. If this is enabled, `DISTCC_HOSTS` must be specified
