Subject: [PATCH 05/16] data: Set GIO_USE_VFS=local in the environment

There is no need for polkit to ever use GVFS to load files from
non-local sources, so it's best to avoid loading GVFS code, and to just
rely on the local implementation in GIO instead. This reduces the attack
surface of polkit.

Implemented for the daemon, pkaction, pkcheck, pkexec and pkttyagent,
because none of them need remote file access.
