Subject: admin: Prevent access if any authentication agent isn't available

The backend currently allows to access and modify files without prompting
for password if any polkit authentication agent isn't available. This seems
isn't usually problem, because polkit agents are integral parts of
graphical environments / linux distributions. The agents can't be simply
disabled without root permissions and are automatically respawned. However,
this might be a problem in some non-standard cases.

This affects only users which belong to wheel group (i.e. those who are
already allowed to use sudo). It doesn't allow privilege escalation for
users, who don't belong to that group.

Let's return permission denied error also when the subject can't be
authorized by any polkit agent to prevent this behavior.

Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/issues/355
