Since a long time the D-Bus spec knows a special bit in its message header for indicating that "interactive" authentication is OK. The original hostnamed API is before that was added hence most functions expose that boolean as explicit argument. For new added functions let's get rid of it, the message flag is good enough and replaces it with complete functionality. No new APIs should carry the "interactive" boolean flag explicitly as argument anymore. Follow-up for: 9697662915e47a4797b05003cb1970fe2b01e530
