      .polkit rebased to 125
      The polkit package is rebased to version 125. Notable enhancements include the following:

      * polkit uses the `tmpfiles.d` file to store configuration in the `/etc/polkit-1` directory.
      * polkit now supports `syslog-style` log levels and LogControl protocol for dynamic loglevel changing.

      The rebase allows the removal of `/etc/polkit-1/<subdirs>` directories and their automatic recreation with appropriate access rules on the next boot. It aligns polkit with the `reset OS to factory settings by deleting /etc` approach. Now, the user does not have to reinstall polkit, if the `etc/polkit-1` directory was deleted.

      Additionally, the `polkit.service` unit file now contains a new parameter specified in the call of polkitd daemon, that is, `--log-level=<level>`. By default in RHEL 10, this parameter is set to `--log-level=err`, logging only error messages. If the parameter `--log-level` is omitted, only critical messages are logged.

      This change allows users to control how verbose polkit should be in logs and especially in the journal. The enhancement addresses the requirement to log every loaded `.rules` file for debug purposes, preventing the journal from being flooded with unnecessary information.
