Re: .sudo_as_admin_successful file

Hi Nathan,

Given how unpopular this feature is upstream, I doubt it will be
considered. sudo-rs has very specific criteria for considering new
features https://github.com/trifectatechfoundation/sudo-rs/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#contributing-to-sudo-rs
(this will fail criteria 3 and 4).

A desktop user who has used terminal in the past must be familiar with
sudo. A common task is installing packages using Apt.

I have prepared an MP here if somebody would like to review

Regards
Ravi
