Add -Dprivileged_group that can be used to override the default of 'wheel', which is set in 50-default.rules. In Debian and derivatives, the privileged group is 'sudo', 'wheel' does not exist.
We have been carrying an out-of-tree patch in Debian to change the hard-coded group from wheel to sudo. This allows us to simply configure it via meson. Default is still the same.
