Since PIDs can be reused, polkit prefers to be given
a (PID,start time) pair. If given a PID on its own,
it will attempt to lookup the start time in /proc/pid/stat,
though this is subject to races.
It is safer if the client app resolves the PID start
time itself, because as long as the app has the client
socket open, the client PID won't be reused.

Instances of this object are intended to be used as if they
were immutable, once created & populated with attributes
