I've made this change in a separate patch so as not to muddy history too
much. If you'd prefer everything rolled up, I can do that, too.

Done.

I've added two more tests to cover the shell arguments to ‘eshell/sudo’,
plus equivalent tests for the doas functionality.

In addition, this patch adds a comment to NEWS and updates the Texinfo
docs. This is my first time messing with those files and I'm not very
familiar with Texinfo; if I've messed something up, let me know.
