ShouldReexecWithSudo checks if keploy should re-execute itself with sudo. Returns true if: 1. A Docker/Docker Compose command is detected in the -c/--command flag, OR 2. The "cloud replay" subcommand is being used (it generates a docker-compose internally) AND Keploy is NOT currently running as root
