Pretty much everywhere else we use the generic term "machine" when
referring to containers in API, so let's do though in sd-bus too. In
particular, since the concept of a "container" exists in sd-bus too, but
as part of the marshalling system.
The ID returned really doesn't identify the owner, but the bus instance,
hence fix this misnaming.
Also, update "busctl status" to show the ID in its output.
In kdbus a "server id" is mostly a misnomer, as there isn't any "server"
involved anymore. Let's rename this to "owner" id hence, since it is an
ID that is picked by the owner of a bus or direct connection. This
matches nicely the sd_bus_get_owner_creds() call we already have.
Clean up the function namespace by renaming the following:
sd_bus_get_owner_uid() → sd_bus_get_name_creds_uid()
sd_bus_get_owner_machine_id() → sd_bus_get_name_machine_id()
sd_bus_get_peer_creds() → sd_bus_get_owner_creds()
The desktop brand is stored as DESKTOP variable for sessions. It can be
set arbitrarily by the session owner and identifies the desktop
environment that is running on that session.
This makes callback behaviour more like sd-event or sd-resolve, and
creates proper object for unregistering callbacks.
Taking the refernce to the slot is optional. If not taken life time of
the slot will be bound to the underlying bus object (or in the case of
an async call until the reply has been recieved).
The new calls work similarly, but enforce a that a common, fixed bus
path prefix is used.
This follows discussions with Simon McVittie on IRC that it should be a
good idea to make sure that people don't use the escaping applied here
too wildly as anything other than the last label of a bus path.
This is primarily useful for services that need to track clients which
reference certain objects they maintain, or which explicitly want to
subscribe to certain events. Something like this is done in a large
number of services, and not trivial to do. Hence, let's unify this at
one place.
This also ports over PID 1 to use this to ensure that subscriptions to
job and manager events are correctly tracked. As a side-effect this
makes sure we properly serialize and restore the track list across
daemon reexec/reload, which didn't work correctly before.
This also simplifies how we distribute messages to broadcast to the
direct busses: we only track subscriptions for the API bus and
implicitly assume that all direct busses are subscribed. This should be
a pretty OK simplification since clients connected via direct bus
connections are shortlived anyway.
