Íñigo Huguet 39143f8bdd polkit: add build option to allow admin users not to type their password
Add a build option to allow installing a Polkit rule that will grant
permissions for admin users without asking for their password if they're
in a local console.

This shouldn't be encouraged, though. It's common practice that admin
users has to introduce their password to make system-wide changes. The
standard polkit policy, without this rule, is auth_admin_keep. This
policy will ask for the password once and won't ask for it again for
~5 minutes, so it is not too unconvenient.

Different distros use different group names for users with admin rights,
typically 'sudo' or 'wheel'. The build option allows to define the
desired group, or to leave it empty to not install the rule.

However, until the previous commit it was allowed that local users (even
non-admin) could do system-wide changes without introducing a password.
This option allows to maintain the same behavior for admin users,
keeping backwards compatibility so we avoid breaking existing scripts,
for example. We cannot achieve the same for non-admin users because
allowing them to create system-wide connection causes security
vulnerabilities that cannot be fixed in any other way.
