[et-mgmt-tools] [PATCH] virtinst: Use openAuth to support SASL and PolicyKit

The attached patch changes the virt-* cli tools to use the libvirt
openAuth function for opening connections. This allows using PolicyKit
and SASL auth with the tools.

polkit-auth is forced to run in cli mode, so no graphical dialog will be
launched. I've thought about having the --prompt flag play a role here,
but since the use cases this fulfills did not previously work, there
shouldn't be any chance of breaking existing uses.

Thanks,
Cole
