Behaviour changes:
• As a result of the move from Autotools to Meson as the recommended
build system on Unix, the names of all build-time options have changed.
Not all Meson options are a 1:1 replacement for their closest equivalent
in Autotools, so the options used for a dbus build should be reviewed.
• If `meson install` is run as root, and traditional (non-systemd)
activation is enabled, the ownership and setuid permission of
dbus-daemon-launch-helper are not set automatically.
This is not the same as the historical behaviour of the Autotools build
system, which would set the ownership and permissions automatically if
run as uid 0.
The ownership and permissions must now be set by OS distribution packaging,
or as a manual post-installation step if dbus is installed directly
without going via a packaging system (which is not recommended).
• On Unix, the well-known system bus socket is in the runtime state
directory by default (normally /run)
