Convert to polkit from usermode consolehelper for gaining root privileges

2013-09-01T14:12:40+00:00

polkit is better integrated into various environments, both console and GUI
and offers better access rules and prevents the internal need to run
su which is prone to errors and doesn't offer an environment agnostic
prompt to the user.

As pkexec does not like being run from a forked process, the forking
in the wrapper when running under X has been dropped.
