Ping arguments not working outside of configure mode

Description

Not sure if this is the expected behaviour so apologies if it is but ping needs elevating with sudo to run with arguments unless in configure mode. I have tested this in VyOS 1.2.4-vmware VyOS 1.3-rolling-202003090217 & yOS 1.3-rolling-202003070217 so it has nothing to do with the recent code changes to ping.
