Add gross hack to allow root to verify users

Browse source 
This is a gross hack for PAM sessions to work as expected. root
is allowed to verify any users. If you want to allow any other
actions for root, you'll need to go through normal PolicyKit
procedures.

This should fix fingerprint authentication not working in GDM, or
on the console.
