kdeinit5 overwrites argv, which in turn results in /proc/self/cmdline
being overwritten. It seems that this is done in a way that does not
necessarily guarantee that /proc/self/cmdline will end up NUL-terminated.
However, g_file_get_contents() is documented to fill a buffer of size
len + 1, where buffer[len] == '\0', even if the file's actual contents
(from buffer[0] to buffer[len-1] inclusive) did not include a NUL;
so we can safely relax this assertion slightly.

Change a condition from one to an equivalent one to shut up a
`scan-build` warning about potentially dereferencing a `NULL` value.
This introduces no functional changes, as it’s not actually possible to
dereference a `NULL` value here (but `scan-build` can’t link the
nullability of `error` to the nullability of `result`).

This avoids failure to listen on the given address on non-Linux Unix
kernels, where abstract sockets do not exist and so unix:tmpdir is
equivalent to unix:dir.
To avoid bugs like this one recurring, run most of these tests using
the unix:dir address type, where Linux is equivalent to other Unix
kernels; just do one unix:tmpdir test, to check that we still
interoperate with libdbus when using abstract sockets on Linux.

Previously, we used unix:tmpdir, except in tests that verify that a
particular address type works (notably unix:dir). Now we use unix:dir
most of the time, and unix:tmpdir gets its own test instead.
This helps to ensure that the tests continue to work on non-Linux Unix
kernels, where abstract sockets do not exist and so unix:tmpdir is
equivalent to unix:dir, even in the common case where the developer has
only tried the test on Linux.

The `on_run()` function could be executed in any worker thread from the
`GThreadedSocketListener`, but didn’t previously hold a strong reference
to the `GDBusServer`, which meant the server could be finalised in
another thread while `on_run()` was still running.
This was not ideal.
Hold a strong reference to the `GDBusServer` while the socket listener
is listening, i.e. between every paired call to `g_dbus_server_start()`
and `g_dbus_server_stop()`.

Rather than when finalising it. They should be automatically recreated
if the server is re-started.
This is important for ensuring that all externally visible behaviour of
the `GDBusServer` is synchronised with calls to
g_dbus_server_{start,stop}(). Finalisation of the server object could
happen an arbitrarily long time after g_dbus_server_stop() is called.

So that the tests all end up using separate `.dbus-keyring` directories,
and hence not racing to create and acquire lock files, use
`G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to ensure they all run in separate
disposable directories.
This has the added benefit of meaning they don’t touch the developer’s
actual `$HOME` directory.

Conceptually, a D-Bus server is really trying to determine the credentials
of (the process that initiated) a connection, not the credentials that
the process had when it sent a particular message. Ideally, it does
this with a getsockopt()-style API that queries the credentials of the
connection's initiator without requiring any particular cooperation from
that process, avoiding a class of possible failures.
The leading '\0' in the D-Bus protocol is primarily a workaround
for platforms where the message-based credentials-passing API is
strictly better than the getsockopt()-style API (for example, on
FreeBSD, SCM_CREDS includes a process ID but getpeereid() does not),
or where the getsockopt()-style API does not exist at all. As a result
libdbus, the reference implementation of D-Bus, does not implement
Linux SCM_CREDENTIALS at all - it has no reason to do so, because the
SO_PEERCRED socket option is equally informative.
This change makes GDBusServer on Linux more closely match the behaviour
of libdbus.
In particular, GNOME/glib#1831 indicates that when a libdbus client
connects to a GDBus server, recvmsg() sometimes yields a SCM_CREDENTIALS
message with cmsg_data={pid=0, uid=65534, gid=65534}. I think this is
most likely a race condition in the early steps to connect:
client server
connect
accept
send '\0' <- race -> set SO_PASSCRED = 1
receive '\0'
If the server wins the race:
client server
connect
accept
set SO_PASSCRED = 1
send '\0'
receive '\0'
then everything is fine. However, if the client wins the race:
client server
connect
accept
send '\0'
set SO_PASSCRED = 1
receive '\0'
then the kernel does not record credentials for the message containing
'\0' (because SO_PASSCRED was 0 at the time). However, by the time the
server receives the message, the kernel knows that credentials are
desired. I would have expected the kernel to omit the credentials header
in this case, but it seems that instead, it synthesizes a credentials
structure with a dummy process ID 0, a dummy uid derived from
/proc/sys/kernel/overflowuid and a dummy gid derived from
/proc/sys/kernel/overflowgid.
In an unconfigured GDBusServer, hitting this race condition results in
falling back to DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1 authentication, which in practice usually
succeeds in authenticating the peer's uid. However, we encourage AF_UNIX
servers on Unix platforms to allow only EXTERNAL authentication as a
security-hardening measure, because DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1 relies on a series
of assumptions including a cryptographically strong PRNG and a shared
home directory with no write access by others, which are not necessarily
true for all operating systems and users. EXTERNAL authentication will
fail if the server cannot determine the client's credentials.
In particular, this caused a regression when CVE-2019-14822 was fixed
in ibus, which appears to be resolved by this commit. Qt clients
(which use libdbus) intermittently fail to connect to an ibus server
(which uses GDBusServer), because ibus no longer allows DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1
authentication or non-matching uids.

On Linux, if getsockopt SO_PEERCRED is used on a TCP socket, one
might expect it to fail with an appropriate error like ENOTSUP or
EPROTONOSUPPORT. However, it appears that in fact it succeeds, but
yields a credentials structure with pid 0, uid -1 and gid -1. These
are not real process, user and group IDs that can be allocated to a
real process (pid 0 needs to be reserved to give kill(0) its documented
special semantics, and similarly uid and gid -1 need to be reserved for
setresuid() and setresgid()) so it is not meaningful to signal them to
high-level API users.
An API user with Linux-specific knowledge can still inspect these fields
via g_credentials_get_native() if desired.
Similarly, if SO_PASSCRED is used to receive a SCM_CREDENTIALS message
on a receiving Unix socket, but the sending socket had not enabled
SO_PASSCRED at the time that the message was sent, it is possible
for it to succeed but yield a credentials structure with pid 0, uid
/proc/sys/kernel/overflowuid and gid /proc/sys/kernel/overflowgid. Even
if we were to read those pseudo-files, we cannot distinguish between
the overflow IDs and a real process that legitimately has the same IDs
(typically they are set to 'nobody' and 'nogroup', which can be used
by a real process), so we detect this situation by noticing that
pid == 0, and to save syscalls we do not read the overflow IDs from
/proc at all.
This results in a small API change: g_credentials_is_same_user() now
returns FALSE if we compare two credentials structures that are both
invalid. This seems like reasonable, conservative behaviour: if we cannot
prove that they are the same user, we should assume they are not.

Since we have the type of the GValue we're going to initialize, we can
allow passing an empty (but valid) GValue when retrieving the default
value of a GParamSpec.
This will eliminate additional checks and an unnecessary reset.
Previously, these GTimeZone objects were being cached in the `time_zones` cache, but dropped from it when their final ref was dropped (which was frequently). That meant additional reads of `/etc/localtime` next time they were created, which was noticeable on profiles. Keep a permanent ref to the UTC and local timezones.
This removes the limitation of select() that only FDs with values lower
than FD_SETSIZE can be used. Previously, if the out/err pipe FDs had
high values (which could happen if a large process, like Firefox, was
spawning subprocesses while having a lot of FDs open), GLib would abort
due to an assertion failure in libc.
