[PATCH v2] Make it simple to run yumex without password

[Håkon Løvdal]

Yumex already have supported polkit for some time, but this is most likely
not well known by its users. Make it easier to discover and start using
by including configuration file templates.

Since polkit recently have changed it configuration file format (used in
Fedora 18), two versions are included. The pkla file is just copied from
http://www.yumex.dk/2012/05/running-yumex-without-typing-password.html.
The rules file is created by me.
