[Bug 1508104] [NEW] Unable to get identifier from service without a display connection

[Rodney Dawes]

Public bug reported:

When attempting to get the identifier value from whoopsie-preferences
from within another dbus service, the request fails with an error as
authorization failed. This authorization failure is happening because
the whoopsie-preferences dbus service is using the
POLKIT_CHECK_AUTHORIZATION_FLAGS_ALLOW_USER_INTERACTION flag, which
should only be used when the call was a direct result of user action.
Getting the identifier is not necessarily the result of user action.

** Affects: whoopsie-preferences (Ubuntu)
