"autolaunch:" is the default address type. If DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is 
empty, it's assumed to mean "autolaunch:" which in turn triggers a platform-
specific way of obtaining the bus address[*].

I'm not sure if it's allowed to appear in DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS, but it 
works there.

[*] On X11, that's finding the window that holds the 
"_DBUS_SESSION_BUS_SELECTION_${USER}_${MACHINE_UUID}" selection and then 
reading the property "_DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" from it. This should be 
documented as well in the spec.
