[aur-general] Use of sudo in pkgbuild

[Laurie Clark-Michalek]

Ye, I've been thinking about this. My current feeling is to add
hicolour-icon-theme to opt-depends and then put an echo about updating the
icon cache in the post_install. Currently, hicolour-icon-theme is a depend
which seems rather overkill to me, and the icon cache is updated from
post_install
