Add detection of pkexec root privilege escalation program (#776437)
Many of the distributions (confirmed for Arch Linux, Debian, Fedora, OpenSUSE, RedHat/CentOS and Ubuntu but likely many others too) are now using polkit as the mechanism to authorise privileged actions, including using it to authorise GParted to run as root in their packages of GParted. Therefore make the GParted configure script check for the pkexec command. Use pkexec with the --disable-internal-agent option when available, preventing pkexec using it's own textual authentication agent. When running GParted from a desktop icon or menu there is no terminal with which to interact with the textual authentication agent to it can't be used. The desktop's graphical agent must be running. This matches how some distributions already use polkit in their own packages of GParted. Required actions file will be added in the next commit. polkit(8) https://www.freedesktop.org/software/polkit/docs/latest/polkit.8.html pkexec(1) https://www.freedesktop.org/software/polkit/docs/latest/pkexec.1.html Bug 776437 - GParted fails to run as root under Wayland
