A coworker was just tripped up by `dbus-monitor --session --system` only
monitoring the system bus. This patch would have saved him reproducing a
tricky bug several times!

Newer systemd-based systems support a global machine ID with the same
metrics as the D-Bus machine ID, but more powerful semantics (for
example on ro media) in /etc/machine-id.
If the D-Bus machine ID cannot be read, fall back to the systemd machine
ID.
This is a first step towards allowing D-Bus to be started up during
early boot where /var is not available.

This is necessary to run the regression tests under valgrind (if
telling it to output to a dedicated fd), gdb, fakeroot etc.

It's a minor security benefit, but not automatically beneficial (it
enables ASLR, but breaks prelinking, some buggy toolchains, and some gdb
versions). Distributions who know their infrastructure works well can
enable it just as easily via
./configure CFLAGS="-fPIE" LDFLAGS="-pie"
without extra support from us, and that's a generic solution applicable to
many packages.
Similarly, don't force libdbus and libdbus-internal to be PIC: libtool
knows better than we do whether that's necessary/beneficial on a
particular platform.

Also remove some pointless indirection (extra_tests etc.), don't install
the unused directory $(libexecdir)/dbus-1 (we actually install the
launch helper directly into $(libexecdir)), and allow dbus_daemondir to be
set on Windows rather than forcing dbus-daemon to be installed to
$(bindir) there.
dbus_daemon_execdir has to contain "exec" so that the dbus-daemon will be
installed by "make install-exec" and not "make install-data".

It turns out that rsync --chmod means "pretend the source files had
already had this chmod operation applied to them", and not "chmod the
destination files" like you'd expect.
As a result, the -p (--perms) option is also needed, so that rsync will
"preserve" the modified permissions. Otherwise, the docs will not be
group-writeable as intended, and only the person who made the previous
upload will be able to upload them next time.

In commit:
075945f6 (John (J5) Palmieri 2005-07-14 20:44:15 +0000
some code was added to compare services by Exec key. The changelog is
not pariticularly informative as to why this was added. But while
debugging other code, we noticed this.
Comparing by Exec key is not in the specification, and triggered a
problem where while converting services to use systemd for activation,
a change was made to use Exec=/bin/false and simply rely on systemd
to activate.
While I think it was broken for the service files to be changed
to Exec=/bin/false, we shouldn't be doing something here that's
not in the spec either.

It's unclear at first reading whether "may contain only one element"
means "elements >= 1, as an exception to the usual rule that
elements >= 2" (which is what was intended), or "elements == 1".
"Like a bus name or interface name" is a little ambiguous because they
have different syntactic restrictions: specifically allow any valid bus
name, which also allows all interface names.
