takeownership.sh version 1.00

This script is a convenient shortcut for the following commands:
1) If a filename is a regular file:
sudo chown "$SUDO_USER" "filename" ...
sudo chgrp "$SUDO_GROUP" "filename" ...
But note that the syntax above does not actually work, as we need to take $SUDO_USER
after 'sudo' has run (and not before), and $SUDO_GROUP does not actually exist.
This script does it properly though.
2) If a filename is a directory:
Same commands with option "--recursive".
Note that "takeownership.sh dir" has the same effect as "takeownership.sh dir/". That is,
appending a '/' to a directory name has no effect.
