Implement _dbus_atomic_get directly, rather than via inc + dec

The Windows implementation is untested, but does at least (cross-)compile,
and matches what GLib does.

In order to allow D-Bus usage during early boot (where /usr is not
accessible) also search for bus activation files in
/lib/dbus-1/system-services/. This is only a first step in the right

current activation files (or possibly replace

man pages: replace all unescaped hyphen/minus characters with \-

In a man page, "-" officially means a typographical (Unicode) hyphen,

a man page. "\-" means the ASCII hyphen/minus character. See

more details.

Rather than trying to distinguish between hyphens, em-dashes and
hyphen/minus, I just replaced all ambiguous hyphens with \- by applying
this vim command repeatedly until it didn't find anything:

When checking for __sync_sub_and_fetch, don't underquote, to shut up recent autoconf

Without the correct number of levels of quoting, autoconf mistakenly
believes we didn't use AC_LANG_SOURCE where required. (In fact,
AC_LANG_PROGRAM calls AC_LANG_SOURCE.)

handle_server_data_anonymous_mech: remove unnecessary debug output

Doing a malloc and a hex-encoding pass just to produce a _dbus_verbose
message (i.e. a message that, in practice, nobody will see) seems like
overkill, and this block had incorrect error handling (not checking the
result of _dbus_string_init) which upsets static analysis tools.
