Fix documentation for pam_wheel
By default, pam_wheel checks for applicant membership in the wheel group
for *all* access requests, regardless of whether the target user is root
or non-root. Only if root_only is provided does it limit the membership
check to cases when the target user is root. Update the documentation to
reflect this.
