Updated GUFW to ensure absolute path of `gufw-pkexec` is always used. When running `gufw` from the command line I came across this error: ``` (gufw.py:442919): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 23:10:39.470: _gtk_style_provider_private_get_settings: assertion 'GTK_IS_STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIVATE (provider)' failed /usr/bin//gufw-pkexec: line 2: 442919 Segmentation fault (core dumped) python3 /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/gufw/gufw.py "$@" ``` The important bit is `/usr/bin//gufw-pkexec` In the polkit com.ubuntu.pkexec.gufw.policy file it has this line: `<annotate key="org.freedesktop.policykit.exec.path">/usr/bin/gufw-pkexec</annotate>` Polkit does not recognize the paths being the same since it includes a double forward slash ('//'), but they are the same paths. I confirmed this was the issue by adding this line into this file: `<annotate key="org.freedesktop.policykit.exec.path">/usr/bin//gufw-pkexec</annotate>` Which when I restarted the polkit service I was able to run the program without error. Obviously this is not a good solution, so I provided a better solution, which can be seen in my pull request, I changed one line in `gufw` from: `pkexec gufw-pkexec $c_user` to `pkexec "$(which gufw-pkexec)" $c_user` This ensures the correct path of `gufw-pkexec` will always be sent.
