Draft: rpm-ostree: Limit update checks if not admin

Timothée Ravier requested to merge ravier/discover:rpm-ostree-fix-non-admin into Plasma/5.27

If the user is not a system administrator (i.e. part of the "wheel" group), each rpm-ostree operation will trigger a polkit authorisations dialog.

To avoid creating unexpected dialogs, do not check for updates in the background (notifier) and do not check on Discover startup.

Explicitly asking for a refresh in the Discover UI will trigger an update check and thus a polkit dialog but in this case this should be fine as this is directly related to a user action.
