Add a new utility class for dropping Linux kernel caches. It uses sudo and tee to write to the drop_caches file. Checking if the user has the permissions to drop caches (without a password) is done by trying to writing an invalid value to the drop_caches file. This way, we will find if writing (with tee) is possible but not really dropping caches, yet. User can avoid giving the password by adding something like: <user> ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches to the system sudoers file.
