Shutdown cancel may not be available to non-root users

Explain what happens

In PR #17302 we quick-fixed the "cancel pending shutdown" functionality for systemd 251. However, tthis is an incomplete fix: We should not even show the cancel action if the session is not root and not allowed via a polkit rule. This is rather intrusive, as we don't routinely query polkit so far, only in pkg/networkmanager/firewall-client.js. Generalize this, and use it for this functionality.
