wpa_supplicant dbus objects are currently difficult to use with
GDBusProxy. This is because they do not follow the dbus standard in
emitting the PropertiesChanged signal on the standard D-Bus properties
interface, so GDBusProxy stores stale property values.
Fix this by raising PropertiesChanged on the standard interface.
For backwards compatibility, the existing custom PropertiesChanged
signals are not removed; I anticipate them being removed in a future
major release.

The read, write, read-write permissions can be figured out from
getter/setter function pointers, so there is no need for maintaining
that information separately.
A number of fixes/improvements here:
1) Remove casting of getter/setter function types which allows
us to change the prototypes in the future and not have hard-to-find
runtime segfaults
2) Instead of having the getters create a fake reply message which
then gets its arguments copied into the real reply message, and is
then disposed, just pass message iters around and have them add
their arguments to the message itself
3) For setters, just pass in the message iter positioned at the
start of the argument list, instead of each setter having to skip
over the standard interface+property name
4) Convert error handling to use DBusError and return the error
back down through the call stacks to the function that will
actually send the error back to the caller, instead of having a
fake DBusMessage of type DBUS_MESSAGE_TYPE_ERROR that then
needs to have the error extracted from it.
But most of all, this fixes various segfaults (like rh #725517
and #678625) which were caused by some functions deep down in the
getter callpaths wanting a source DBusMessage* when the getters were
used for two things: signals (which don't have a source DBusMessage)
and methods (which will have a source DBusMessage that's being
replied to). This duality made the code fragile when handling
errors like invalid IEs over the air.

Extend commit c2762e410f to allow
applications to manage (add/remove) persistent groups and accepted
network object paths while invoking a persistent group.
Moved wpas_dbus_new_decompose_object_path from dbus_new_handlers.c
to dbus_new_helpers.c.

The path pointer used as the timeout_ctx was not constant; the path
string itself may have been the same, but the pointer certainly was not
since it was sometimes from stack and sometimes from the dynamically
allocated buffer in obj_desc. This caused some of the eloop timeout
cancellations not to find the timeout. Fix this by using the obj_desc
as the timeout context data.
Instead of sending PropertiesChanged signals for each changed
property separately, mark properties as changed and send aggregated
PropertiesChanged signals for each interface in each object.
Aggregated PropertiesChanged signal is sent
- for all object after responding on DBus call
- for specified object after manual call to
wpa_dbus_flush_object_changed_properties() function
- for each object separately after short timeout (currently 5 ms)
which starts when first property in object is marked changed
There is no need to duplicate the method/signal/property arrays that
were registered for objects. The registration was using static arrays
on methods/signals/properties in all places and we can as well use
those throughout without having to allocate memory and copy all the
entries for every object. This reduces number of allocations and
amount of unnecessary code quite a bit.
The perror() calls do not make much sense with libdbus functions and
wpa_printf() would really be used for all error printing anyway. In
addition, many of the error messages on out-of-memory cases are not
really of much use, so they were removed. This is also cleaning up
some of the error path handling to avoid duplicated code.
We don't actually need to define separate user_data argument for
each method handler and property getter/setter. Instead, we can define
one argument for the whole object. That will make it easier to register
objects like BSS or Networks which require allocating and freeing
memory for their arguments.
This was mostly identical code that had been copied for the new D-Bus
API implementation and as such, should really have been shared from
the beginning. In addition, the copied code ended up generating
interesting stack traces since the actual D-Bus connection was being
shared even though the pointer to it was stored in two distinct
data structures. The old D-Bus code ended up dispatching some
D-Bus callbacks which ended up running the new D-Bus code.
Since the private context pointers were mostly identical, everything
seemed to more or less work, but this design was just making things
more complex and potentially very easy to break.
The D-Bus interface does not really have anything to do with the
wpa_supplicant ctrl_iface interface and as such, this prefix in
dbus files is both confusing and unnecessarily. Make the file names
shorter by removing this prefix.
