hidepid: polkit and systemd-logind compatibility
`systemd.hideProcessInformation = true`, would break interactions requiring polkit arbitration such as initating poweroff/reboot as a normal user; the polkit daemon cannot be expected to make decisions about processes that don't exist as far as it is concerned. systemd-logind lacks the `sys_ptrace` capability and so needs to be part of the designated proc gid, even though it runs as root.
