We want to emphasize bus connections as per-thread communication
primitives, hence introduce a concept of a per-thread default bus, and
make use of it everywhere.

Try to emphasize a bit that there should be a mapping between event
loops and threads, hence introduce a logic that there's one "default"
event loop for each thread, that can be queried via
"sd_event_default()".

In addition, the states "UNMUTED" and "MUTED" become "ON" and "OFF".
This has the benefit that a possible value of this field is not
identical to its name, thus minimizing confusion.

Quit handlers are executed when an event loop is terminated via
sd_event_request_quit(). They are in a way atexit() handlers that are
executed in a well-defined environment, time and thread: from the event
loop thread when the event loop finishes.

In order to improve energy consumption we should minimize our wake-ups
when handling timers. Hence, for each timer take an accuracy value and
schedule the actual wake-up time somewhere between the specified time
and the specified timer plus the accuracy.
The specified time of timer event sources hence becomes the time the
handler is called the *earliest*, and the specified time plus the accuracy
the time by which it is called the *latest*, leaving the library the
freedom to schedule the wake-up somewhere inbetween.
If the accuracy is specified as 0 the default of 250ms will be used.
When scheduling timeouts we will now try to elapse them at the same
point within each second, across the entire system. We do this by using
a fixed perturbation value keyed off the boot id. If this point within a
second is not in the acceptable range, we try again with a fixed time
within each 250ms time step. If that doesn't work either, we wake up at
the last possible time.

Testing for y > x is the same as testing for x < y.

So far we tried to use epoll directly wherever we needed an event loop.
However, that has various shortcomings, such as the inability to handle
larger amounts of timers (since each timerfd costs one fd, which is a
very limited resource, usually bounded to 1024), and inability to do
priorisation between multiple queued events.
Let's add a minimal event loop API around epoll that is suitable for
implementation of our own daemons and maybe one day can become public
API for those who desire it.
This loop is part of libsystemd-bus, but may be used independently of
it.
