If an interface is added and removed on the same mailoop iteration,
ObjectManager would try to send InterfacesAdded signal while running the
idler because the interface was added to data->added list.

This is easily reproduced by forcing an error path in a plugin
registration, like on sap_server_register(), resulting in the following
error:

==11795== Invalid read of size 4
==11795==    at 0x496F592: dbus_message_iter_append_basic (dbus-message.c:2598)

==11795==    by 0x13C092: sap_server_probe (manager.c:44)

With this patch we don't send the InterfacesAdded signal, removing it
from data->added while unregistering.
