Alexander Larsson 905e38115c dbus-proxy: Rework to match proposed dbus filter behaviour
This reworks the dbus proxy to be more in line with the API proposed at
 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101902

In particular, it makes the filtering language more expressive. You
can now filter both calls and broadcast recieves, and filters now work
with wildcarded object paths, bus names and interfaces
(BUS_NAME_IS_SUBTREE, OBJECT_PATH_IS_SUBTREE and empty interface in
dbus API). We also more correctly track the rules for unique ids so
that filter matching work for those too (previously filters only
worked if you sent to the well known bus name, not the unique name).

In terms of implementation, things have been simplified to *only* use
Filter rules rather than tracking policies and filters separately.

Also we track all the previously known owned names for a unique id
rather than just the highest policy for it. We can then look up all
filters for it, instead of a simplified policy only check.

In terms of the CLI everything is the same, except --filter=foo has
been renamed to --call=foo, to avoid the weird conflict with the
--filter (no =..) option. We also added a similar --broadcast to
filter received broadcasts.

Closes: #1730
