community/modemmanager: fix polkit rules for GeoClue integration

Dylan Van Assche requested to merge dylanvanassche/aports:modemmanager-geoclue into master

Current polkit rules block GeoClue from interacting with ModemManager when a location request is received by GeoClue. Allow GeoClue to use the org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Device.Control and org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Location DBus APIs.

Without this patch, GeoClue complains in its logs with:
