Cherry-pick of PR #23970 to 7.12 branch. Original message:
What does this PR do?
Re writes the HasRoot function.
The token.IsMember(sid) returns TRUE if the caller's process is a member of the Administrators local group. Caller is NOT
expected to be impersonating anyone and is expected to be able to open its own process and process token. In order for the process to "Run as administrator" the user must be in the BUILTIN\Administrators Group.
Why is it important?
In order to install the elastic agent we are checking for Admin by accessing "\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0".
This will not work on all setups since the physical drive might be missing, ex testing with windows containers, kubelet startup.
