[ISSUE] Clightd not working

New issue by danjenson on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/34630

Description:
### System

* xuname:  
```
Void 5.15.9_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate rFFFF
```
* package:  
```
Clight-4.7_1
```

### Expected behavior
Clight daemon would respond to clight, without sudo.

### Actual behavior
The daemon/service does not seem to respond to clight. Even running, `dbus-run-session clight` with the `Clightd` service running returns an Idle Error. It will only work with `sudo dbus-run-session clight`, which seems to circumvent using Clightd. (The point of Clightd is so clight can be run without sudo privileges). I have added my user to `i2c`, `dbus`, and dbus is running (so is polkitd). I also start bspwm with `exec dbus-launch --exit-with-x11 bspwm`. The author of `clight` is unfamiliar with void/bspwm, so is having a hard time debugging.

### Steps to reproduce the behavior
1. Install `Clightd`
2. Enable `dbus`, `polkitd`, and `Clightd`
3. Start a bspwm session with `exec dbus-launch --exit-with-x11` (in ~/.xinitrc)

The log at `~/.local/share/clight/clight.log`. It will have the following lines:

```

Comment:
So, it turns out that this requires an active `polkitd` session, as well as this rule in `/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/80-clightd.rules`:
```
/* Allow any user to call clightd without authentication */
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
    if (action.id.indexOf("org.clightd.clightd.") == 0) {
        return polkit.Result.YES;
    }
});
```
Not sure if this should be somehow incorporated into the install script. Welcome to add it, would just need some guidance, as I've only been running Void for < 1 week.
