zed.8: don't pretend an unprivileged user could change the script owner 

And add a note on /why/ ZEDLETs need to be owned by root

Quoth chown(2), Linux man-pages project:
  Only a privileged process (Linux: one with the CAP_CHOWN capability)
  may change the owner of a file.

Quoth chown(2), FreeBSD:
     [EPERM]  The operation would change the ownership,
              but the effective user ID is not the super-user.

The ownership and permissions of the \fIenabled-zedlets\fR directory (along
with all parent directories) are not checked. If any of these directories
are improperly owned or permissioned, an unprivileged user could insert a
ZEDLET to be executed as root. The requirement that ZEDLETs be owned by
root mitigates this to some extent.
