Otherwise a malicious connection on a shared bus, especially the system
bus, could trick GDBus clients into processing signals sent by the
malicious connection as though they had come from the real owner of a
well-known service name.

We will use this in a subsequent commit to prevent signals from an
impostor from being delivered to a subscriber.
To avoid message reordering leading to misleading situations, this does
not use the existing mechanism for watching bus name ownership, which
delivers the ownership changes to other main-contexts. Instead, it all
happens on the single thread used by the GDBusWorker, so the order in
which messages are received is the order in which they are processed.

This will become confusing when we start tracking the owner of a
well-known-name sender, and it's redundant anyway. Instead, track the
1 bit of data that we actually need: whether it's a well-known name.
Strictly speaking this too is redundant, because it's syntactically
derivable from the sender, but only via extra string operations.
A subsequent commit will add a data structure to keep track of the
owner of a well-known-name sender, at which point this boolean will
be replaced by the presence or absence of that data structure.

No functional change, just removing some nesting. The check for whether
signal_data->subscribers is empty changes from a conditional that tests
whether it is into an early-return if it isn't.
A subsequent commit will add additional conditions that make us consider
a SignalData to be still in use and therefore not eligible to be removed.

No functional changes, except that the implicit ownership-transfer
for the rule field becomes explicit (the local variable is set to NULL
afterwards).

Subsequent changes will need to access these data structures from
on_worker_message_received(). No functional change here, only moving
code around.

Using these is a bit more clearly correct than repeating them everywhere.
To avoid excessive diffstat in a branch for a bug fix, I'm not
immediately replacing all existing occurrences of the same literals with
these names.
The names of these constants are chosen to be consistent with libdbus,
despite using somewhat outdated terminology (D-Bus now uses the term
"well-known bus name" for what used to be called a service name,
reserving the word "service" to mean specifically the programs that
have .service files and participate in service activation).

On GNOME/glib#3268 there was some concern about whether this would
allow an attacker to send signals and have them be matched to a
GDBusProxy in this situation, but it seems that was a false alarm.

This somewhat duplicates test_connection_signals(), but is easier to
extend to cover different scenarios.
Each scenario is tested three times: once with lower-level
GDBusConnection APIs, once with the higher-level GDBusProxy (which
cannot implement all of the subscription scenarios, so some message
counts are lower), and once with both (to check that delivery of the
same message to multiple destinations is handled appropriately).

The documentation previously implied that they could. That’s not really
true though: they can only fail if preconditions fail, i.e. they’re
passed invalid input. That’s a programmer error, which is not something
we want to encourage people to check for at runtime (e.g. by dynamically
checking for a 0 return value).

This is nowhere near a complete check-through and gi-docgenification of
the signals docs, just a few bits I was looking at anyway.

We install gvariant-specification-1.0.html to `docs_dir` but that shouldn't require `enable_gir`.
