nixos/polkit: don't enable by default
SUID wrappers really shouldn't be enabled by default, unless a consumer relies on them. So in my opinion this falls upon the desktop environments if needed or a user to explicltly enable this if wanted. Most desktop environments and services like CUPS already enable polkit by default, that should really be sufficient.
