I have literally no idea how PolicyKit is used, so I don't feel like the
right person to review more than the first patch (which looks fine).
But this is something I can't let go unnoticed, sorry.  If you are using
virCommandPtr in virpolkit.h, then that file should also include
vircommand.h.  Then you can remove it from virpolkit.c (if it is
included there) and you don't need to reorganize the includes or touch
them in other files.  And anyone can include virpolkit.h without needing
to care about any dependencies.
