Sudo Warning Incident Removed

Remove "This incident will be reported." from user warnings. This used to indicate that email had been sent to the administrator telling them that someone tried to run sudo. Whether or not sudo sends email is now configurable, so the warning may not be accurate. It is also confusing to the user since they will not know who the incident is being reported to.

A GitHub commit removes the warning “This incident will be reported.” from sudo user messages because the email behavior is configurable and the warning is confusing. The joke comes from the mismatch between the ominous wording and the unclear or nonexistent administrator who supposedly receives the report, referencing an xkcd comic about sudo.
