[BREAKING] Exclude subprocess data sources when root_dir is specified

The global idea here is about preferring no data instead of false ones
if `root_dir` parameter is set (as this may result in calling a
binary returning, for instance, host information).

Developers used to set `root_dir` and purposely including LSB, uname
or oslevel commands will now get a `ValueError` exception during class
initialization.

See #311 for complete thread and rationale.
