Async DBusMessage reads using the C API

[Matthew Johnson]

OK, I've modified my original suggestion to have
dbus_connection_read_write() which queues any outstanding methods from
the bus and they can be read using dbus_connection_pop_message(). New
patch is attached. This has all been tested.

Whats the process for getting this into a release (the end result of all
this is a package using it I want to get into Debian, which will
obviously depend on a version of dbus with the call in)

If we did want a blocking version of this call it should have a timeout
value, rather than blocking indefinitely.
