polkit: don't start polkit agent when running as root
On the server side we already bypass the polkit checks if the caller is root
(see the sd_bus_query_sender_privilege() call in bus_verify_polkit_async()). So
there is no reason to invoke polkit when running
systemctl/machinectl/loginctl/timedatectl as root.
Fixes #2748
