[sudo-users] Pivot user for launching sqlplus

[Bram Mertens]

Also keep in mind that:
Cmnd_Alias LOADPROFILE = /usr/bin/sh .profile

Allows the user to *execute*, not source the script.
This will effectively mean that the user will start a subshell that
will have the right values but those values won't persist in the
user's environment.
