security: simplify and fix dbus configuration

Browse Source 
Previously, due to the dependency on a helper service, this dbus config
was initially inactive after system boot, allowing for unrestricted use
of the problematic dbus call.
This also broke the accompanying VM test on faster systems.

Remove 'allow' policy for root because it's a no-op:
1. It's overridden by the 'mandatory' deny policy.
2. Root can use all dbus calls anyways, regardless of policy settings.

Also, add some comments.
