'pip install' should use --user flag on MacOS Mojave

[Sirclicksalot]

In trying to install/use mac-cli on a brand new install of Mojave (10.14.2), I was unable to install glances (resolved by installing via brew install glances) or successfully run the pip portion of mac update with the command as currently formatted.

Specifically;
pip list --outdated --format=freeze --local | grep -v '^\-e' | cut -d = -f 1 | xargs -n1 pip install -U
results in a whole long list of
Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [('/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/....', '/private/var/folders/...', "[Errno 1] Operation not permitted:
whereas substituting pip install --user worked like a charm.

I know I could try to find/make these changes, and submit a PR, but I'm still not exactly a paragon of confidence in coding/github/etc. So I'm just letting anyone know who might care.
