Now that we're using g_simple_async_result_set_check_cancellable() we
no longer need this terrible hack of carrying the GCancellable on the

Call g_simple_async_result_set_check_cancellable() after all
GSimpleAsyncResult creation in order to take advantage of the new
reliable cancellation feature.
The guarantee of reliable cancellation fixes a bug in dbusmenu (which
was already assuming that cancellation was reliable). See this bug:

g_bus_get_finish() and g_bus_get_sync() both document that the returned
object will usually have exit-on-close set to TRUE, but the property's
documentation specified that its default is FALSE. While that's
technically true from a GObject perspective, it's not accurate from the
API user's perspective.

This happens to work at the moment (because GDBusWorker.frozen is a

Strictly speaking, neither of the two uses that aren't under the lock
*needs* to be atomic, but it seems better to be obviously correct (and
we save another 4 bytes of struct).
One of these uses is in g_dbus_connection_is_closed(), any use of which
is inherently a race condition anyway.
The other is g_dbus_connection_flush_sync, which as far as I can tell
just needs a best-effort check, to not waste effort on a connection that
has been closed for a while (but I could be wrong).
I removed the check for the closed flag altogether in
g_dbus_connection_send_message_with_reply_unlocked, because it turns out
to be redundant with one in g_dbus_connection_send_message_unlocked,
which is called immediately after.
g_dbus_connection_close_sync held the lock to check the closed flag,
which is no longer needed.
As far as I can tell, the only reason why the lock is still desirable
when setting the closed flag is so that remove_match_rule can't fail
by racing with close notification from the worker thread - but
on_worker_closed needs to hold the lock anyway, to deal with other
data structures, so there's no point in trying to eliminate the
requirement to hold the lock.

This isn't strictly necessary, because in every location where it's
checked, if the reading thread misses an update from another thread,
it's indistinguishable from the reading thread having been scheduled
before the writing thread, which is an unavoidable race condition that
callers need to cope with anyway. On the other hand, merging exit_on_close
into atomic_flags gives the least astonishing semantics to library users
and saves 4 bytes of struct, and if you're accessing exit-on-close often
enough for it to be a performance concern, you're probably doing it wrong.

The only exceptions are those of the trivial getters/setters that don't
already need the initialization check for its secondary role as a memory
barrier (this is consistent with GSocket, where trivial getters/setters
don't check):
* g_dbus_connection_set_exit_on_close
* g_dbus_connection_get_exit_on_close
* g_dbus_connection_is_closed
g_dbus_connection_set_exit_on_close needs to be safe for
use before initialization anyway, so it can be set at construct-time.

Also document which fields require such a check in order to have correct
threading semantics.
This usage doesn't matches the GInitable documentation, which suggests
use of a GError - but using an uninitialized GDBusConnection is
programming error, and not usefully recoverable. (The GInitable
documentation may have been a mistake - GNOME#662208.) Also, not all of
the places where we need it can raise a GError.
The check serves a dual purpose: it turns a non-deterministic crash into
a deterministic critical warning, and is also a memory barrier for
thread-safety. All of these functions dereference or return fields that
are meant to be protected by FLAG_INITIALIZED, so they could crash or
return an undefined value to their caller without this, if called from a
thread that isn't the one that called initable_init() (although I can't
think of any way to do that without encountering a memory barrier,
undefined behaviour, or a race condition that leads to undefined
behaviour if the non-initializing thread wins the race).
One exception is that initable_init() itself makes a synchronous call.
We deal with that by passing new internal flags up the call stack, to
reassure g_dbus_connection_send_message_unlocked() that it can go ahead.

The comment implied that even failed initialization would set
is_initialized = TRUE, but this wasn't the case - failed initialization
would only set initialization_error, and it was necessary to check both.
It turns out the documented semantics are nicer than the implemented
semantics, since this lets us use atomic operations, which are also
memory barriers, to avoid needing separate memory barriers or locks
for initialization_error (and other members that are read-only after
construction).
I expect to need more than one atomically-accessed flag to fix thread
safety, so instead of a minimal implementation I've turned is_initialized
into a flags word.

If the connection to the bus is lost while a method call is ongoing,
the method call does not get cancelled. Instead it just sits around
until it times out.
This is visible here on XO laptops when stopping the display manager
during shutdown. imsettings starts sending a sync message to give up
its bus name (via g_bus_unown_name()), then systemd terminates the
session bus at approximately the same time. imsettings then hangs for
about 20 seconds before timing out the message.
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dbus/2011-September/014717.html
imsettings behaviour could be improved as described in that thread,
but I think this is a glib bug. I've also come up with the attached
patch which fixes it.
