Subject: [PATCH] dbus: keep the polkit authorization for all clients

I played with the defaults and I've found out that:
 - allow_any == clients like ssh
 - allow_active == for local console (X, terminal)
 - allow_inactive had no effect

Anyway, I do not find any reason to prevent any client from getting
access to all ABRT problems and I also think we should use
'auth_admin_keep' until we implement the new abrt dbus service.

auth_admin_keep - requires authorization for the first request and the
authorization is kept for a brief period (polkit(8)).

dbus: Fix desktop centric polkit policy file

In order to allow use of ABRT's DBus API on servers, the polkit
policy should allow admin usage even when not logged in an active
seat (ie: monitor and keyboard). Otherwise use from ssh logins and
Cockpit is prevented.
