[PATCH] Recognise and use PK to control access to uinput device

The attached patch allows HAL to see the /dev/input/uinput control
device and use PolicyKit to manage ACLs on it.  I've set the default
policy to allow access from the active console users.

This allows the pam_thinkfinger module to work when called from
gnome-screensaver.
