Update for current function prototypes.

Also, document -ESOCKTNOSUPPORT as being returned when protocol version
mismatches are detected.

-    <para><function>sd_bus_open_user()</function> creates a new bus
-    object and opens a connection to the user bus.
-    <function>sd_bus_open_system()</function> does the same, but
+    <para><function>sd_bus_default()</function> acquires a bus
+    connection object to the user bus when invoked in user context or
+    to the system bus otherwise. The connection object is associated
+    to the calling thread. Each time the function is invoked from the
+    same thread the same object is returned, but its reference count
+    increased by one, as long as at least one reference is kept. When
+    the last reference to the connection is dropped (using the
+    <function>sd_bus_unref()</function> call), the connection is
+    terminated. Note that the connection is not automatically
+    terminated when the associated thread ends. It is important to
+    drop the last reference to the bus connection explicitly before
+    the thread ends or otherwise the connection will be leaked.</para>
+
+    <para><function>sd_bus_default_user()</function> returns a user

+    otherwise. <function>sd_bus_open_user()</function> is similar, but
+    connects only to the user bus.
+    <function>sd_bus_open_system()</function> does the same, but
