We need a GUI sudo/permission mechanism #140

@Numerio

Description

@Numerio

We really need to introduce something, maybe even in the interface kit itself, that is able to handle when a graphical app needs superuser privileges (e.g. a GUI sudo fundamentally).

Just sketching some names:

BPermissionWindow would show a window, in a similar way as we already do for BPopUp, asking for a password. The user might chooes to handle (-EPERM or B_PERMISSION_DENIED) and display the pop-up to get the required privileges.

Maybe have a look at GtkSudo and similar stuff to grasp what we need to implement.
