worldofpeace f6e92290b3 gnome3.gnome-settings-daemon: fix #14168
The issue in brief is caused by the fact that gnome-settings-daemon is
non-restartable and if the policy definitions change in any way
it won't propagate to the running system because of that.

By patching references to the backlight helper to
/run/current-system/sw/bin/gsd-backlight-helper
the polkit policy will not undergo a change.
