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
I think perhaps we should also call it 'libvirtadm' in case we want to use a 'libvirt' group for other purposes in the future.
