sd-bus: fix gvariant structure encoding
In gvariant, all fixed-size objects need to be sized a multiple of their alignment. If a structure has only fixed-size members, it is required to be fixed size itself. If you imagine a structure like (ty), you have an 8-byte member followed by an 1-byte member. Hence, the overall inner-size is 9. The alignment of the object is 8, though. Therefore, the specs mandates final padding after fixed-size structures, to make sure it's sized a multiple of its alignment (=> 16). On the gvariant decoder side, we already account for this in bus_gvariant_get_size(), as we apply overall padding to the size of the structure. Therefore, our decoder correctly skips such final padding when parsing fixed-size structure. On the gvariant encoder side, however, we don't account for this final padding. This patch fixes the structure and dict-entry encoders to properly place such padding at the end of non-uniform fixed-size structures. The problem can be easily seen by running: $ busctl --user monitor and $ busctl call --user org.freedesktop.systemd1 / org.foobar foobar "(ty)" 777 8 The monitor will fail to parse the message and print an error. With this patch applied, everything works fine again. This patch also adds a bunch of test-cases to force non-uniform structures with non-pre-aligned positions. Thanks to Jan Alexander Steffens <jan.steffens@gmail.com> for spotting this and narrowing it down to non-uniform gvariant structures. Fixes #597.
