A D-Bus/Varlink method can issue PolicyKit auth. requests for multiple actions; in this case the method is expected to fail on the first one that is not allowed. This is enforced by asserts in async_polkit_read_reply(), but that's a wrong place for the check for two reasons: 1. it doesn't allow to get a meaningful stack trace; 2. sending the query to polkit is already a pointless exercise. Let's do the check in *_verify_polkit_async_full() and don't send anything to PolicyKit in that case. Inspired by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2349594 .
