dbus_message_iter_open_container: Don't leak signature on failure
If we run out of memory while calling _dbus_type_writer_recurse()
(which is impossible for most contained types, but can happen for
structs and dict-entries), then the memory we allocated in the call to
_dbus_message_iter_open_signature() will still be allocated, and we
have to free it in order to return to the state of the world prior to
calling open_container().
One might reasonably worry that this change can break callers that use
this (incorrect) pattern:
if (!dbus_message_iter_open_container (outer, ..., inner))
{
dbus_message_iter_abandon_container (outer, inner);
goto fail;
}
/* now we know inner is open, and we must close it later */
However, testing that pattern with _dbus_test_oom_handling()
demonstrates that it already dies with a DBusString assertion failure
even before this commit.
This is all concerningly fragile, and I think the next step should be
to zero out DBusMessageIter instances when they are invalidated, so
that a "double-free" is always detected.

This function looks appealing, but it is a trap, particularly in

"failed because the string is actually invalid"; but
_dbus_validate_signature_with_reason() allocates memory. Use the

build: Introduce ${runstatedir} and use it for the pid file
By default ${runstatedir} is the same as ${localstatedir}/run, but many
Linux distributions configure it to be /run and mount a tmpfs in that
location. All other factors being equal, it is preferable to use /run
where available because it is guaranteed to be local, whereas traversing
/var might involve automounting a networked filesystem (even though
/var/run itself is very likely to be a tmpfs).
/run or /var/run is currently only used in a few places in dbus, but
I plan to make more use of it during the development of
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100344>.
The pid file is not part of the API between dbus and other software
(other than distribution init scripts for dbus itself), so we do not
need to keep it strictly compatible; so it is OK to move it.
We do not yet use /run for the system bus socket, because that is
part of the API between D-Bus clients and servers, and has always been
"officially" /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket.
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101628> tracks the
possibility of changing that.
Similarly, we do not replace /var/run/console with /run/console, because
that path is part of the API between dbus-daemon and the obsolete PAM
modules pam_console and pam_foreground that used /var/run/console.
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101629> tracks the possible
future removal of that code path.
In the CMake build system, the equivalent of ${runstatedir} remains
hard-coded to the equivalent of ${localstatedir}/run for simplicity. For
the sort of system-wide installations that would consider redefining
${runstatedir} to /run, the Autotools build system is strongly
recommended: in particular this is what Linux distributions are expected
to use.

These are like unix:tmpdir=/something, except that the resulting
socket is always path-based, never abstract.
This is desirable for two reasons:
* If a Linux container manager wants to expose a path-based socket
into the container, it can do so by bind-mounting it in the
container's filesystem namespace. That cannot work for abstract
sockets because they are not files.
* Conversely, if a Linux container manager does not want to expose
a path-based socket in the container, it can avoid bind-mounting it,
or bind-mount some harmless object like /dev/null over it.

Make _dbus_get_local_machine_uuid_encoded() properly failable
This function already raised an error, and all callers handled that
error as gracefully as they could (because _dbus_generate_uuid() is
failable, since 2015). Given that, it seems unnecessarily hostile
to do a _dbus_warn_check_failed() unless we have no better alternative:
yes, it indicates that dbus has not been installed correctly, but
during build-time tests it's entirely reasonable that dbus has not
yet been installed.
Callers are:
* DBusConnection, to implement Peer.GetMachineId()
* The bus driver, to implement Peer.GetMachineId()
* X11 autolaunching
* dbus_get_local_machine_id()
Of those, only the last one is not in a position to return an error
gracefully, so move the _dbus_warn_check_failed() to there.
Migrate the text about the D-Bus library being incorrectly set up
into the error emitted by the Unix implementation, and to make it
less misleading, include separate error messages for both the
files we try to read:
$ bwrap --ro-bind / / --dev /dev --tmpfs /etc --tmpfs /var \
./tools/dbus-uuidgen --get
D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up: see the manual
page for dbus-uuidgen to correct this issue. (Failed to open
"/var/lib/dbus/machine-id": No such file or directory; Failed to open
"/etc/machine-id": No such file or directory)

tests: Don't exercise GetMachineId() or autolaunch if no machine ID
At the moment there is a hack in the implementation of GetMachineId()
to stop tests from failing during "make check" on a system where
dbus has never been installed, by silently generating a new unique
fake "machine ID" for each process. I'm about to change that
behaviour to report errors properly; skip affected test-cases if we
can't read the real machine ID.
The shell scripts to test dbus-launch are run both as "make check"
tests (for which it is valid for dbus to be not correctly installed)
and as installed-tests (for which that is not valid), so make them
pass during "make check" but fail during installed testing.
The tests in bus/ and test/name-test/ are only run during "make check"
so they only have the code path where they are skipped.

Unix sysdeps: Only copy /etc/machine-id to ${sysconfdir} in "ensure" mode
System integration scripts use dbus-uuidgen --ensure, so they are
unaffected by this, and in particular the solution to Bug #77941
is still valid.
The shared library is typically loaded by unprivileged users, so
trying to write out the machine-id file is not going to work anyway.
However, if we *can* write to our ${sysconfdir} - notably during
`make distcheck` - then it is unexpected that merely reading the
machine ID has the side-effect of writing to ${sysconfdir},
and in particular it will make the check for a complete uninstall
fail. We definitely must not delete the machine ID during
`make uninstall`.
