Description:
------------
Hi,

Yes, I know the risks about running php as root.
However there are situations where one would _need_ to do it, like appliances, 
accessing operating system resources or even for testing purposes.

It seems correct to warn and disallow it by default, but I think it is reasonable 
to have a "force" option that allows php-fpm running as root, as long there is a 
big message warning about the risks.

Expected result:
----------------
Allow to run as root

Actual result:
--------------
Not able to run as root, no force option available.
