This extends our current polkit logic, so that we can in a very similar fashion as we already can authenticate dbus peers authenticate varlink connection peers. polkit natively speaks dbus and can authentication dbus peers. To get the same level of support for varlink we'll use authentication by pidfd+uid. This requires polkit v124, and if that's not available it will fallback to authorizing root only as before.
