This way we have four kinds of properties:
a) those which are constant as long as an object exists
b) those which can change and PropertiesChange messages with contents are generated
c) those which can change and where the PropertesChange merely includes invalidation
d) those which can change but for which no events are generated
Clients (through code generators run on the introspection XML) can thus
aggressively cache a, b, c, with only d excluded.

"privileged"
Internally, it makes sense to have a default of "privileged" for
methods, and a flag to open it up. However, externally in the bus
introspection turn this around since negative options actually suck.

Message handler callbacks can be simplified drastically if the
dispatcher automatically replies to method calls if errors are returned.
Thus: add an sd_bus_error argument to all message handlers. When we
dispatch a message handler and it returns negative or a set sd_bus_error
we send this as message error back to the client. This means errors
returned by handlers by default are given back to clients instead of
rippling all the way up to the event loop, which is desirable to make
things robust.
As a side-effect we can now easily turn the SELinux checks into normal
function calls, since the method call dispatcher will generate the right
error replies automatically now.
Also, make sure we always pass the error structure to all property and
method handlers as last argument to follow the usual style of passing
variables for return values as last argument.

This patch converts PID 1 to libsystemd-bus and thus drops the
dependency on libdbus. The only remaining code using libdbus is a test
case that validates our bus marshalling against libdbus' marshalling,
and this dependency can be turned off.
This patch also adds a couple of things to libsystem-bus, that are
necessary to make the port work:
- Synthesizing of "Disconnected" messages when bus connections are
severed.
- Support for attaching multiple vtables for the same interface on the
same path.
This patch also fixes the SetDefaultTarget() and GetDefaultTarget() bus
calls which used an inappropriate signature.
As a side effect we will now generate PropertiesChanged messages which
carry property contents, rather than just invalidation information.

serialization on Get()

objects on the bus
This adds a lightweight scheme how to define interfaces in static fixed
arrays which then can be easily registered on a bus connection. This
makes it much easier to write bus services.
This automatically handles implementation of the Properties,
ObjectManager, and Introspection bus interfaces.
