Subject: [PATCH] Add polkit action for Wi-Fi scans

Previously, Wi-Fi scans uses polkit action
"org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.network-control". This is introduced
in commit 5e3e19d0. But in a system with restrict polkit rules, for
example "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.network-control" was set as
auth_admin. When you open the network panel of GNOME Control Center, a
polkit dialog will keep showing up asking for admin password, as GNOME
Control Center scans the Wi-Fi list every 15 seconds.

Fix that by adding a new polkit action
"org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wifi.scan" so that distributions can
add specific rule to allow Wi-Fi scans.
