The “little-known facts about bananas” release.

This is a stable-branch release with various minor bugfixes. The most
significant is that we now use a slightly less restrictive definition
of valid UTF-8, matching GLib 2.36 (GNOME 3.8). This will be
documented in the D-Bus Specification v0.21, which I hope to release
tomorrow as part of dbus 1.7.2.

• Following Unicode Corrigendum #9, the noncharacters U+nFFFE, U+nFFFF,
  U+FDD0..U+FDEF are allowed in UTF-8 strings again.
  (fd.o #63072, Simon McVittie)

• Diagnose incorrect use of dbus_connection_get_data() with negative
  slot (i.e. before allocating the slot) rather than returning junk
  (fd.o #63127, Dan Williams)

• In the activation helper, when compiled for tests, do not reset the
  system bus address, fixing the regression tests. (fd.o #52202, Simon)

• Fix building with Valgrind 3.8, at the cost of causing harmless
  warnings with Valgrind 3.6 on some compilers (fd.o #55932,
  Arun Raghavan)

• Don't leak temporary fds pointing to /dev/null (fd.o #56927,
  Michel HERMIER)

• Create session.d, system.d directories under CMake (fd.o #41319,
  Ralf Habacker)

• Unix-specific:
  · Include alloca.h for alloca() if available, fixing compilation on
    Solaris 10 (fd.o #63071, Dagobert Michelsen)
