auth-manager: don't watch polkit's D-Bus name and don't emit change signal when NameOwner disconnects

PolicyKit is a D-Bus activatable service. I don't think it exits on idle (but maybe
it does, it certainly should).

Anyway, NetworkManager was watching the NameOwner of polkit and if the name was lost(!)
it would emit a NM_AUTH_MANAGER_SIGNAL_CHANGED, which causes the internal code to re-authenticate
right away. That means, if you stop policy kit, NetworkManager will ask it right away and
D-Bus activate it. This is not right.

In fact, we don't have to care about the name owner at all. Whenever we make a request,
we just make it and D-Bus activate the service as needed. If polkit starts, it emits a
Changed signal that we watch on D-Bus. That is the only moment when we should actually
emit NM_AUTH_MANAGER_SIGNAL_CHANGED, not when polkit disconnects.
