Bug 19567 - Make marshaling code usable without DBusConnection
Some projects want to reuse the DBus message format, without
actually going through a DBusConnection. This set of changes
makes a few functions from DBusMessage public, and adds a new
function to determine the number of bytes needed to demarshal
a message.

Bug 17803 - Fix both test case and validation logic
The previous commit had errors in both the test case and
the validation logic. The test case was missing a trailing
comma before the previous one, so we weren't testing the
signature we thought we were.
The validation logic was wrong because if the type was not valid,
we'd drop through the entire if clause, and thus skip returning
an error code, and accept the signature.

Bug 20137 - Fix alignment usage when demarshaling basics
We can't safely type-pun from e.g. char * to DBusBasicValue *, because
the latter has higher alignment requirements. Instead, create an
explicit pointer for each case.
Also, we mark each one volatile to sidestep strict aliasing issues, for
the future when we turn on strict aliasing support.

Bug 18229: Allow signals
Our previous fix went too far towards lockdown; many things rely
on signals to work, and there's no really good reason to restrict
which signals can be emitted on the bus because we can't tie
them to a particular sender.

The previous rule <allow send_requested_reply="true"/> was actually
applied to all messages, even if they weren't a reply. This meant
that in fact the default DBus policy was effectively allow, rather
than deny as claimed.
This fix ensures that the above rule only applies to actual reply
messages. Signed-off-by: Colin Walters <walters@verbum.org>

Bug 17352: synchronize the file before renaming
Dbus is doing atomic file updates by copying them, changing
the copy, and re-naming them. However, it does not synchronize
the file before re-naming, which results in corruption in
case of unclean reboots. The reason for this is that file-systems
have write-back cache and they postpone writing data to the media.
This patch adds the missed fsync() for the Unix part. I do
not have windows so cannot provide a windows port fix.

number of groups.

Update man page to make the point of the <type> element more clear
There have been a number of patches in the past try to key system
versus session bus policy off of the message bus type, when the
policy should be distinguished from more fine-grained options in the
individulal policy files. Hopefully, this man page update will make
that more clear.
