This MR contains a series of commits that removes the disable on PolKit usage and fixes remaining bugs in it to provide a user experience that allows manipulating files that require administrative access to modify in a secure way.
To test:
[compile patch to your install location; for me it's ~/kde/usr]
source ~/kde/build/kio/prefix.sh
export KDE_FORK_SLAVES=1
sudo cp ~/kde/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.kde.kio.file.policy /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/
sudo cp ~/kde/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.kde.kio.file.service /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/
sudo cp ~/kde/usr/share/dbus-1/system.d/org.kde.kio.file.conf /usr/share/dbus-1/system.d/
sudo cp ~/kde/usr/lib64/libexec/kauth/file_helper /usr/lib64/libexec/kauth/ (might be /usr/libexec/kf5/kauth/ on some distros)
