[PATCH] gnu: Enable polkit for connman

[PATCH] gnu: Enable polkit for connman

[Mathieu OTHACEHE]

Connman was compiled without polkit support due to this error message during
configure phase :

pkg-config cannot find polkit.pc

It is a meaningless error produced by the following lines in
connman/configure.ac :

	POLKIT_DATADIR="`$PKG_CONFIG --variable=actiondir polkit`"
	POLKIT_DATADIR=""
	if (test -z "${POLKIT_DATADIR}"); then
		POLKIT_DATADIR="${datadir}/polkit-1/actions"
	fi

When compiled with --enable-polkit, everything seems to work fine and connman
can be used from an unprivileged account.
