Support for remote hosts that require password for sudo.
Some checks failed
Lint / test (push) Waiting to run
Trivy / test (push) Waiting to run
CI / test (push) Has been cancelled

Introduce --ask-become-pass or -K to support password-required sudo on remote hosts, just like Ansible.

It will also fall back to this prompt if a password is required but the arg wasn't passed in.

With thanks to slhck from HN for the initial patch, advice and feedback.
