auth: rework polkit autorization to use DBUS interface directly
This makes NetworkManager independent of <polkit/polkit.h>
development headers and libpolkit-gobject-1.so library.
Instead communicate directly with polkit using its DBUS
interface.
PolicyKit support is now always compiled in. You can control
polkit authorization with the configuration option
[main]
auth-polkit=yes|no
If the configure option is omitted, a build time default
value is used. This default value can be set with the
configure option --enable-polkit.
This commit adds a new class NMAuthManager that reimplements the
relevant DBUS client parts. It takes source code from the polkit
library.
