*Very experimental*/under-dev release of new fully asynchronous multi-prompter.

New Dbus method "RequestPromptAsync" to handle "return-less" prompter invocations in fw-prompt.
Proper GUI locking in fw-prompt eliminates old race/crash conditions.
New DBus method "GetPendingRequests" in SGFW allows prompter to retrieve pending connections.
Policies now maintain rulesPending list of unapplied asynchronously submitted FW rules from the prompter.
Fixed reentrance/crash bug in UID and GID to name lookups.
