[sonic-cfggen]: Use unix socket when reading from DB only if we are u…

…sing sudo. (#7002)

Closes issue #6982.
The issue was root caused as we were using the unix_socket for reading from DB as a default mechanism (#5250). The redis unix socket is created as follows.

admin@str--acs-1:~$ ls -lrt /var/run/redis/redis.sock 
srwxrw---- 1 root redis 0 Mar  6 01:57 /var/run/redis/redis.sock
So it used to work fine for the user "root" or if user is part of redis group ( admin was made part of redis group by default )

Check if the user is with sudo permissions then use the redis unix socket, else fallback to tcp socket.
