man: document sd_bus_track objects
And while ware at it, also drop some references to kdbus, and stop claiming
sd-bus wasn't stable yet. Also order man page references in the main sd-bus man
page alphabetically.

The first + argument should refer to a bus peer tracking object created with + <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_track_new</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>, the second + name should refer to a D-Bus peer name to track, either in unique or well-known service format. If the name is not + tracked yet it will be added to the list of names to track. If it already is being tracked and non-recursive mode + is enabled, no operation is executed by this call. If recursive mode is enabled a per-name counter is increased by + one each time this call is invoked, and <function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> has to be called as many + times as <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> was invoked before in order to stop tracking of the name. Use + <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_track_set_recursive</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> to + switch from the default non-recursive mode to recursive mode, or back.

Note that multiple bus peer tracking objects + may track the same name.</para> + + <para><function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> undoes the effect of + <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> and removes a bus peer name from the list of peers to watch. Depending + on whether non-recursive or recursive mode is enabled for the bus peer tracking object this call will either remove + the name fully from the tracking object, or will simply decrement the per-name counter by one, removing the name + only when the counter reaches zero (see above). Note that a bus peer disconnecting from the bus will implicitly + remove its names fully from the bus peer tracking object, regardless of the current per-name counter.</para> + + <para><function>sd_bus_track_add_sender()</function> and <function>sd_bus_track_remove_sender()</function> are + similar to <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> and <function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> but + take a bus message as argument. The sender of this bus message is determined and added to/removed from the bus peer + tracking object. As messages always originate from unique names, and never from well-known names this means that + this call will effectively only add unique names to the bus peer tracking object.</para> + + <para><function>sd_bus_track_count()</function> returns the number of names currently being tracked by the + specified bus peer tracking object. Note that this function always returns the actual number of names tracked, and + hence if <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> has been invoked multiple times for the same name it is only + counted as one, regardless if recursive mode is used or not.</para> + + <para><function>sd_bus_track_count_name()</function> returns the current per-name counter for the specified + name. If non-recursive mode is used this returns either 1 or 0, depending on whether the specified name has been + added to the tracking object before, or not. If recursive mode has been enabled, values larger than 1 may be + returned too, in case <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> has been called multiple times for the same + name.</para> + + <para><function>sd_bus_track_count_sender()</function> is similar to + <function>sd_bus_track_count_name()</function>, but takes a bus message object and returns the per-name counter + matching the sender of the message.</para> + + <para><function>sd_bus_track_contains()</function> may be used to determine whether the specified name has been + added at least once to the specified bus peer tracking object.</para> + + <para><function>sd_bus_track_first()</function> and <function>sd_bus_track_next()</function> may be used to + enumerate all names currently being tracked by the passed bus peer tracking + object. <function>sd_bus_track_first()</function> returns the first entry in the object, and resets an internally + maintained read index. Each subsequent invocation of <function>sd_bus_track_next()</function> returns the next name + contained in the bus object. If the end is reached <constant>NULL</constant> is returned. If no names have been + added to the object yet <function>sd_bus_track_first()</function> will return <constant>NULL</constant> + immediately. The order in which names are returned is undefined; in particular which name is considered the first + returned is not defined. If recursive mode is enabled and the same name has been added multiple times to the bus + peer tracking object it is only returned once by this enumeration.
