Introduce virDBusCallMethod & virDBusMessageRead methods

Browse Source 
Doing DBus method calls using libdbus.so is tedious in the
extreme. systemd developers came up with a nice high level
API for DBus method calls (sd_bus_call_method). While
systemd doesn't use libdbus.so, their API design can easily
be ported to libdbus.so.

This patch thus introduces methods virDBusCallMethod &
virDBusMessageRead, which are based on the code used for
sd_bus_call_method and sd_bus_message_read. This code in
systemd is under the LGPLv2+, so we're license compatible.

This code is probably pretty unintelligible unless you are
familiar with the DBus type system. So I added some API
docs trying to explain how to use them, as well as test
cases to validate that I didn't screw up the adaptation
from the original systemd code.
