[Bug runtime/5705] New: Need more descriptive error messages on non-root systemtap invocation

Currently, stap errors out on a non-root invocation with just a:
ERROR: unable to find either group "stapdev" or group "stapusr"
Though documentation pertaining to stapdev and stapusr are part of the stap(1)
manpage, IMO it is prudent to spell out a more detailed error message here.
Also, would it make sense to automagically create stapdev and stapusr groups
during systemtap install?
