g_dbus_address_connect: specifically use dbus-launch for autolaunch:

This only alters what happens if we specifically connect to
"autolaunch:", for instance via "DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=autolaunch:".
We will still potentially try other platform-specific things if
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is unset. There are currently no other
platform-specific things, so there is no practical difference yet,
but I'm about to add a more-preferred fallback path before autolaunch.

This matches libdbus' behaviour and the D-Bus Specification, in which
the autolaunch: transport specifically means X11 autolaunch
(as implemented by "dbus-launch --autolaunch") on Unix, or a
shared-memory-based protocol on Windows. Other platform-specific
transports or default/fallback modes, including launchd on Mac OS X
and XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/bus on Unix, are not part of "autolaunch:".

It's rather unfortunate that the same name means two different
platform-specific mechanisms, specific to different platforms -
if they were added today I'd call them x11: and windows-shm: or
something - but it's been like this since 2007 so it's too late now.
