[ptxdist] [PATCH 5/7] add ptxsudo alias to ptxdist bash

[Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>]

When using 'ptxdist bash' some tools installed by ptxdist may have to be
used as root. some sudo installations do not pass through the PATH environment
variable so that 'sudo <somecommand-in-sysroot-host>' results in command not
found error messages. This patch adds a ptxsudo alias that can be used in such
situations. The name has been chosen rather than regular 'sudo' since the
said feature is a security feature protecting against path spoofing which
we do not want to disable silently.
