Set default maximum number of Unix fds according to OS
QNX has an arbitrary limit to the number of file descriptors
which may be passed in a message, which is smaller than the
current default. This patch therefore changes the default from
a hardcoded constant to a macro, which is determined at configure
time by looking at the host operating system.
[This reduces the limit from 4096 (session)/1024 (system) to 128 fds
per message on QNX, and 1024 fds per message on other operating systems.
I think the reduced session bus limit on other OSs is a reasonable change
too, given that the default hard/soft ulimits in Linux are only 4096/1024
fds per process. -smcv]

configure: redo pthread check to check for more things
In principle, anything in the pthread namespace might either be in the
platform-specific thread library (libpthread or libpthreads or libthreads
or ...), or in libc.
In particular, it seems that pthread_mutexattr_init and
pthread_mutexattr_settype are in libpthread, not libc, on Linux. We
previously didn't (intentionally) look for them in libpthread, only
in libc; so this check deserved to fail.
However, a faulty configure check for pthread_cond_timedwait
worked around this on Linux by checking for -lpthread and adding it
to THREAD_LIBS if pthread_cond_timedwait *was* found in libc (even
though that behaviour makes no sense).
The practical impact was that D-Bus would fail to compile on platforms
where pthread_cond_timedwait is in a special threading library that
is not linked by default, and at least one of
(pthread_mutexattr_init, pthread_mutexattr_settype) is also in a
special threading library. This is the case on at least OpenBSD
(fd.o #54416).
So far I've only added checks for the new symbols introduced by
using recursive pthreads mutexes. If we get reports of compilation
failures on weird platforms, we can check for more symbols.
Also clarify the indentation, which was turning into quite a mess,
and use AS_IF instead of if/elif/else/fi in accordance with Autoconf
best-practice.

Don't include generated documentation in the tarball

packages they happen to have installed at the time. If this documentation
is important enough that we need to ship it precompiled in tarballs,
we should guarantee it; or if it isn't important enough to justify that,
we should just drop it.
I don't think we really need it in the tarballs at all: most users
will get their libdbus from a binary distribution (in which case I expect
the distribution's dbus maintainers to set appropriate
build-dependencies), and those who build from source can either

dbus-spawn: set SIGPIPE to SIG_IGN before activating services
dbus's service activation code sets SIGPIPE to SIG_DFL as a
sort of poor man's prctl(... PR_SET_PDEATHSIG) to detect when
the parent goes away.
It neglects to reignore the infamous signal before performing
activation, however.
This means if, for instance, journald is restarted all
services activated after it will die with SIGPIPE when logging
messages unless they explicitly ignore SIGPIPE themselves.
This commit changes dbus's service activation code to correctly
ignore SIGPIPE to protect activated services from a gruesome,
premature death.

Set correct address when using --address=systemd:
When dbus gets launched through systemd, we need to create an address
string based on the sockets passed.
The _dbus_append_addres_from_socket() function is responsible for
extracting the address information from the file-descriptor and
formatting it in a dbus friendly way.
This fixes bus activation when running dbus under a systemd session.

CVE-2012-3524: Don't access environment variables or run dbus-launch when setuid
This matches a corresponding change in GLib. See
glib/gutils.c:g_check_setuid().
Some programs attempt to use libdbus when setuid; notably the X.org
server is shipped in such a configuration. libdbus never had an
explicit policy about its use in setuid programs.
I'm not sure whether we should advertise such support. However, given
that there are real-world programs that do this currently, we can make
them safer with not too much effort.
Better to fix a problem caused by an interaction between two
components in *both* places if possible.
How to determine whether or not we're running in a privilege-escalated
path is operating system specific. Note that GTK+'s code to check
euid versus uid worked historically on Unix, more modern systems have
filesystem capabilities and SELinux domain transitions, neither of
which are captured by the uid comparison.
On Linux/glibc, the way this works is that the kernel sets an
AT_SECURE flag in the ELF auxiliary vector, and glibc looks for it on
startup. If found, then glibc sets a public-but-undocumented
__libc_enable_secure variable which we can use. Unfortunately, while
it *previously* worked to check this variable, a combination of newer
binutils and RPM break it:
http://www.openwall.com/lists/owl-dev/2012/08/14/1
So for now on Linux/glibc, we fall back to the historical Unix version
until we get glibc fixed.
On some BSD variants, there is a issetugid() function. On other Unix
variants, we fall back to what GTK+ has been doing.
