Reviewing merge request #2: dynamically add --fake-super

Dynamically add --fake-super to the remote rsync if it does not use root to connect to the remote location. This eliminates the need to connect to the remote location as root.

This commit requires the remote filesystem to be mounted with options "user_xattr" and "acl".
