1. Allow admin users to remove packages without password prompt …

   A local, active admin user can install packages without a password
   prompt, but has to enter the admin password to remove packages. This
   doesn't make much sense. It should be parallel.
   
   Note that this change has no effect on what users are able to do,
   because it only applies to admin users. The password only protects
   against unlocked workstation attackers, where an attacker gains physical
   access to an unlocked desktop. It's pretty weird to prevent such an
   attacker from removing software, but allow installing new stuff.
   
   This makes users more vulnerable to secret agents who access your laptop
   when you leave it unlocked while ordering a coffee. This is just not a
   very practical concern for most users. I'd be more upset about somebody
   viewing my files if I leave my laptop unlocked, not so upset about
   somebody uninstalling Calendar or whatnot.
