Allow constructing a GDBusProxy for well-known names as discussed here
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2009-October/msg00075.html
including test cases.
Make it possible to create a GDBusProxy for a GBusType instead of a
GDBusConnection. This requires G_BUS_TYPE_NONE so add that too.
Nuke g_bus_watch_proxy() since one can now more or less use GDBusProxy
for this.
Port gdbus-example-watch-proxy to this new API and include this
example in the GDBusProxy doc page.
Also nuke the GType parameter from the GDBusProxy constructors as
requested here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=621229
Also update the porting guide and other API docs for this change.
Also fix a bug in the signal dispatching code so each subscriber only
get notified once, not N times, for the same signal. Also add a test
case for this.

This makes it possible to use the cached properties mechanism even if
constructing the proxy with the DO_NOT_LOAD_PROPERTIES flag.
This is useful for cases where you obtain the and track object
properties out-of-band. For example, in udisks, the plan is to have
something like this
Manager.GetObjects (out ao paths, out aa{sa{sv}} all_properties);
Manager.ObjectAdded (o path, a{sa{sv}} all_properties);
Manager.ObjectChanged (o path, a{sa{sv}} all_properties);
Manager.ObjectRemoved (o path, a{sa{sv}} all_properties);
E.g. the first GetObjects() call will return *all* data about *all*
exported objects. Further, this way a client will only need to listen
these three signals (three AddMatch) on the Manager object and it will
never need to do GetAll() etc (e.g. can use DO_NOT_LOAD_PROPERTIES).
(Of course this only works if the client is interested in all
objects... while this is true for udisks it is generally not true for
other D-Bus services).
Also use expected_interface to check for programming errors.
These are included wholesale in the docs, and the copyright
headers make them even more overwhelming. Plus, we don't have
copyright headers on examples anywhere else.
Things compile and the test-suite passes. Still need to hook up
gio.symbols and docs. There are still a bunch of TODOs left in the
sources that needs to be addressed.
