device: allow non-privileged users to call device.GetAppliedConnection()

Compare to the connection's GetSettings() call, which is not protected
by policykit permissions. It only checks that the requesting user is
allowed according to "connection.permission".

Previously, device's GetAppliedConnection() requires "network-control"
permissions. This although it only reads a profile, without modifying
anything. That seems unnecessary, also because in the common case the
applied connection is identical to the current settings connection, and
the latter can be read without special permissions.

Don't require a special policykit permission to read the applied
connection.
