Bug Description

Bolt is a new component that is handling the authentification of thunderbolt-3 devices. Without a way to authentificate the devices those can't be used so it's sort of an important hardware enablement type of feature.

The MIR for bolt has been approved as bug #1752056, including a security review.

GNOME 3.28 (which is what we have in bionic) already include the UI side for the user prompting, the request is just to install the service by default so things work out of the box.
