spec: Allow non-message-bus servers to use SENDER and DESTINATION

Browse source 
The Telepathy "Tubes" APIs are an example of a server that is not a
message bus, but makes use of the sender and destination fields to
provide broadly unique-connection-name-like semantics.

This field is usually only meaningful in combination with
the message bus (see <xref linkend="message-bus"/>),

This field is usually only meaningful in combination with
the message bus, but other servers may define their own
meanings for it.
On a message bus, this header field is controlled by
the message bus, so it is as reliable and trustworthy
as the message bus itself.
