Revision: 1198280

Replace polkit with seatd dependency

Since seatd has become a requirement for sway's logind support, we can leverage
this package to also obtain elevated system privileges instead of polkit.

Note that using seatd instead of polkit means that a user must be a part of the
"seat" group: Otherwise, the user will not be able to achieve the appropriate
privileged actions.

Also remove a few unnecessary extra packages from the optdepends to give polkit
a bit more visibility.

+Sway's necessary privileges can now be obtained through seatd as well as the
+incumbent polkit package. As such, polkit has been relegated to an optional
+dependency.
+
+Note that using seatd instead of polkit means that a user must be a part of the
+"seat" group: Otherwise, the user will not be able to achieve the appropriate
+privileged actions.
+
+For more information, refer to the Sway wiki page.
