    GDBusAuthObserver: Fix mixup between authentication and authorization
    
    Authentication is about proving who I am; authorization is about
    whether, given the knowledge of who I am, I am allowed to do something.
    GDBusServer and GDBusConnection carry out authentication automatically,
    but rely on the library user to carry out authorization.
