clean needs root at all times

As of r79649:

<http://trac.macports.org/changeset/79649>

a 'port clean' always needs to run as root.  If the alt workpath is in
effect (~/.macports), shouldn't that negate the need for root?  So then
clean_start should be checking $usealtworkpath first, right (just like in
clean_main)?
