Geany doesn't have a policy file

[Rob Peters]

With the loss of gksu in Bionic one needs to use pkexec for root access geany editing. However, geany does not have a policy file. This needs to be added to the package

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE policyconfig PUBLIC
 "-//freedesktop//DTD PolicyKit Policy Configuration 1.0//EN"
 "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/PolicyKit/1.0/policyconfig.dtd">
<policyconfig>

  <vendor>Geany</vendor>
  <vendor_url></vendor_url>
  <icon_name>geany</icon_name>

<action id="org.geany.pkexec">
   <description>Run Geany as root</description>
   <message>Authentication is required to run Geany as root.</message>
   <defaults>
      <allow_any>no</allow_any>
