4acf0cfd2f ("logind: check PolicyKit before allowing VT switch") broke
the ability to write user sessions that run graphical sessions (e.g.
weston/X11). This was partially amended in 19bb87fbfa ("login: allow
non-console sessions to change vt") by changing the default PolicyKit
policy so that non-root users with a session are again allowed to switch
the VT. This makes the policy when PolKit is not enabled (as on many
embedded systems) closer the default PolKit policy and allows launching
graphical sessions as a non-root user.
Closes #17473
