Enhancements

BZ#625880
To allow administrators easily disable the suspend and hibernate actions on the system, DeviceKit-power now checks the PolicyKit authorization before deciding whether an action can be completed.
BZ#727544
This update introduces a new sub-package DeviceKit-power-devel-docs, which contains developer's documentation for DeviceKit-power, so that it is now possible to install the DeviceKit-power-devel package on machines with multiple architectures without file conflicts.
All users are advised to upgrade to these updated DeviceKit-power packages, which add these enhancements.
