The 'at_console' D-Bus policy setting has been deprecated for more then
10 years and could be ignored at any time in the future. Moreover, while the
intend was to allow locally logged on users to interact with iwd, it didn't
actually do that. https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-bluetooth/msg75267.ht=
ml
and https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus/-/issues/52 contain more
details. Therefor remove the 'at_console_ setting block.

On Debian (based) systems, there is a standard defined group which is
allowed to manage network interfaces, and that is the 'netdev' group.
So add a D-Bus setting block to grant the 'netdev' group that access.
