I'm OK with this revert. With this patch I can still build it without
intltool present by passing ./configure --disable-polkit which will
not try to build them so that's fine.

Sorry I didn't notice the dependency of
org.freedesktop.systemd1.policy on @rootlibexecdir@ and @bindir@
variables when I first suggested the patch.

I briefly looked into whether it's possible to first do
internationalization of the template and generate an internationalized
version with the variables still present and then do the variable
substitution as a second step, but that requires either changing the
name of the files (because the intltool rules assume they'll generate
the *.policy file) or overriding/ignoring the intltool m4 macros. I
might still send a patch for that but let's not hold this revert on
that.

Cheers,
Filipe
