rhsm modules: cleanly fail when not run as root (#6211)

Browse source 
subscription-manager on RHEL installs a symlink in /usr/bin to
console-helper (part of usermode), which triggers an interactive prompt
for root credentials when run as user. It seems that console-helper
does not handle well non-interactive contexts (e.g. without a TTY for
input), and thus it will hang waiting for input when run as user in an
Ansible task.

Since subscription-manager requires root already anyway (and it will
fail when explicitly run as user), then apply the same logic locally on
all the modules that interact with it: redhat_subscription,
rhsm_release, and rhsm_repository.

bugfixes:
- redhat_subscription, rhsm_release, rhsm_repository - cleanly fail when not running as root,
rather than hanging on an interactive ``console-helper`` prompt; they all interact with
``subscription-manager``, which already requires to be run as root
(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues/734,
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/6211).
