b21d948900 Eliminate unwanted whitespace from the man pages' XML source
As demanded by the git commit hook set up by autogen.sh, this eliminates
trailing whitespace on each line, and blank lines at EOF. We might as
well do this now, since every line in these files has changed anyway.

the XML, but now it's the other way round.)

16d0564f30 Don't include generated documentation in the tarball
Building it unconditionally causes problems for minimal installations
(OSTree), and building it opportunistically means the tarball isn't
guaranteed to contain it, depending who releases libdbus and which
packages they happen to have installed at the time. If this documentation
is important enough that we need to ship it precompiled in tarballs,
we should guarantee it; or if it isn't important enough to justify that,
we should just drop it.

I don't think we really need it in the tarballs at all: most users
will get their libdbus from a binary distribution (in which case I expect
the distribution's dbus maintainers to set appropriate
build-dependencies), and those who build from source can either
install xmlto, read the documentation on our website, or at worst,
read the source XML. (We don't put the Doxygen-generated API reference
HTML in the tarball either, and I haven't heard any complaints.)

e9762e1542 Document that dbus-launch is not dbus-run-session
Architectural assumptions inside dbus-launch mean that it is unsuitable
for use in contexts where a particular process's lifetime defines the
session, unless there is an out-of-band mechanism (like the X server)
which can signal the end of the session.

ba433723f7 dbus-launch: revise recommendations and put them in an EXAMPLES section
The first thing we should talk about is how to get a D-Bus session in
your X session - that's the common case.

Secondarily, we can tell command-line addicts how to have a D-Bus session.
Do not recommend --exit-with-session here, since that polls (and reads
from) stdin, which is harmful to precisely those command-line users!
Until we have some better tool, the best we can do here is note that
the dbus-daemon is not automatically terminated.
