[PATCH cygutils 1/1] cygstart: add 'runas' as option to elevate privileges like UAC

[Vadim (vadcx) via Cygwin-apps]

From: "Vadim (vadcx)" <vad....@vad.cx>

Inspired by https://stackoverflow.com/q/4090301

If other known actions have easy aliases, runas should have one too and hint at
its existence.
