Subject: [PATCH] NetworkMenu: create private connections if the user is not authorized

Check polkit setting at startup and add, if needed, the "permissions"
setting to the connections we create, so that polkit authentication is
never needed. The connection is thus only available to other users
if the system administrator decides so.
