    Add pkexec policy (Bug #11122)
    
    This adds a pkexec policy file to Thunar. This way if the user
    of a desktop system wants to use thunar to modify files as root
    and has the proper credentials they can.
    pkexec comes from polkit which does about the same thing as
    sudo/gksu except also supports authentication methods like
    fingerprint or smart card readers.
