Bug Description
PlainBox has a concept of execution controllers that offer bids on who will execute a given job. The "user" execution controller is not offering any bids for jobs that need to run as root and such jobs go through either sudo, pkexec or the trusted launcher. This is inefficient when running as root (in the case of trusted launcher, very inefficient).
When the current user _is_ root then the user job execution controller should offer the best bid.

My version did the same thing but in a separated (uneeded actually) class. We're both using os.getuid() == 0 and a score of 3.
