[PATCH] allow root to obtain privileges

[Ludwig Nussel]

Even root may not have all privileges by default. Application try to obtain
missing privileges via authentication then and fail as polkit-grant-helper
refuses to work as root. Therefore also allow root to obtain privileges via
authentication.
