Description

Using the new GLib structured logging support, send structured log messages to journald. This simplifies polkit's logging code a little, and allows more information to be sent to the journal. Specifically, MESSAGE_IDs can now be sent; and connecting directly to the journal means it will get the right process information.

This bumps the GLib dependency to 2.49.4.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
