Many users, who admin their own machines, want to be able to access system libvirtd via tools like virt-manager without having to enter a root password. Just google 'virt-manager without password' and you'll find many hits. I've read at least 5 blog posts over the years describing slightly different ways of achieving this goal.
Let's finally add official support for this.
Install a polkit-1 rules file granting password-less auth for any user in the new 'libvirt' group. Create the group on RPM install

Patch is unchanged otherwise. So unless there's objects all carry over the previous ACK from danpb and push after the release is out
Pushed now Thanks, Cole
