Security hardening: force EXTERNAL auth in session.conf on Unix
DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1 is dependent on unguessable strings, i.e.
indirectly dependent on high-quality pseudo-random numbers
whereas EXTERNAL authentication (credentials-passing)
is mediated by the kernel and cannot be faked.
On Windows, EXTERNAL authentication is not available,
so we continue to use the hard-coded default (all
authentication mechanisms are tried).
Users of tcp: or nonce-tcp: on Unix will have to comment
this out, but they would have had to use a special
configuration anyway (to set the listening address),
and the tcp: and nonce-tcp: transports are inherently
insecure unless special steps are taken to have them
restricted to a VPN or SSH tunnelling.
Users of obscure Unix platforms (those that trigger
the warning "Socket credentials not supported on this Unix OS"
when compiling dbus-sysdeps-unix.c) might also have to
comment this out, or preferably provide a tested patch
to enable credentials-passing on that OS.
