[libvirt] [PATCH] Update polkit examples to use 'lookup' method

From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange at redhat.com>

Feedback from the polkit developers indicates that the
"_detail_XXXX" attributes are a private implementation
detail. Our examples should be recommending use of the
"action.lookup('XXX')" method instead.
