Convert to polkit from usermode consolehelper for gaining root privileges
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.
The 'auth as user' (as opposed to 'auth as root') for the 'MageiaUpdate'
binary has been ported to the polkit equiv.
