Description

With 1.90.1, this error message is way too scary and nerdy:

```
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ./tailscale up
Access denied: watch IPN bus access denied, must set ipn.NotifyNoPrivateKeys when not running as admin/root or operator

Use 'sudo tailscale up'.
To not require root, use 'sudo tailscale set --operator=$USER' once.
```
