Bug Description

Lets say I run ./drizzled as root. It'll throw the no root error. If I run ./drizzled --help, it throws the no root error again. But I don't want the no root error, i want to figure out what -u is! --help shouldn't require being a specific user.

mysqld now prints the requested help output, but still emits the "don't run me as root" warning on top
