Fix for memory leak in EnumerateActions call results handler.

I've found, that policykit-1-0.105 in my Debian Wheezy doesn't release
reference counters of GVariant data for
org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Authority.EnumerateActions DBUS call
resulting data.

See patch in attachment.
g_variant_ref_sink (child) call was odd in case of iterating array child items.

There is high possibility that this bug causes memory leaking in kded4
(see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=271934) and other policykit-1
client software.

Title:
  Kdeinit4 is leaking memory on every ssh login due to known bug on
  policykit-1

Status in System policy:
  Fix Released
Status in policykit-1 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Every time ssh login is made on ubuntu 14.04, kdeinit4 leaks 2-3 Mb (when kde is installed).
  According to previous bug report in: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=271934 
  this is a bug in policykit-1 package, and it has been already  fixed on upstream.  
  Update of policykit-1 should fix this problem on kubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 14.04 + Kde.

  This bug is severe in some specific scenarios where ssh is often used. 
  In my case, I have a lot of scripts running processes every hour between ubuntu and kubuntu machines using passwordless ssh login. In few days kubuntu machines don't have free memory, due to the referred leak.
