Allow non-sudo escalations and add option for checking existing commands before running

For linux discoveries, sudo is not always enabled. In these cases, we should allow the user to specify a root password and escalate privileges to root using the provided password and 'su'.
Also include a keyword argument on remote_execute, `allow_many`, which can be set to False,
and will ensure that the command to be issued is not already running before executing.
