Add textual authentication agent and use it in pkexec(1)
This makes pkexec(1) work when e.g. logging in via ssh(1) or the linux
console but also when using `su -'. Example:
[davidz@x61 ~]$ su - bateman
Password:
[bateman@x61 ~]$ pkexec bash
==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.policykit.exec ===
Authentication is needed to run `/bin/bash' as the super user
Authenticating as: root
Password:
==== AUTHENTICATION COMPLETE ===
[root@x61 ~]#
Summary of changes
- Added a PolkitAgentTextListener class
- Add new polkit_agent_listener_register() (and _unregister()) API
- Deprecate polkit_agent_register_listener API
- Allow registering authentication agents for PolkitUnixProcess subjects
and prefer such agents to ones governing the session
- Make PolkitAgentSession use the thread-default GMainContext - otherwise
it won't work in spawned threads
- (finally) use PolkitAgentTextListener in pkexec(1) if authorization
via authentication is possible but no authentication agent was
found
