Subject: [PATCH] dbus-launch: If no X11, look for existing bus before failing

What we are aiming for here is that `dbus-launch --autolaunch` will
exit with an error if it would have been unable to advertise the bus
in a way that will be picked up by other instances of itself, so that
we don't get a proliferation of autolaunched dbus-launch instances,
each with its own dbus-daemon, and none of them talking to the others.

However, we don't need to do that *immediately*: we can try to look for
an existing instance first. If we find one, then we can assume that
it's suitable for use, even if X11 autolaunching was disabled at
compile-time or if connecting to the X server failed at runtime. We
only need to bail out if we get to the point where we are ready to start
forking child processes.

This lets systemd users run `dbus-launch --autolaunch` to find a
systemd-managed dbus-daemon, even if X11 autolaunching is disabled.
When combined with the previous commit, it also lets macOS users run
`dbus-launch --autolaunch` to find a launchd-managed dbus-daemon.

Resolves: dbus/dbus#385
