The “just the one swan, actually” release.

This is a stable-branch bugfix release. Upgrading is recommended,
unless you are following an older security-fix-only stable branch
(1.10.x or 1.8.x).

git tag: dbus-1.12.6

Fixes:

• Increase system dbus-daemon's RLIMIT_NOFILE rlimit before it drops
  privileges, because it won't have permission afterwards. This fixes a
  regression in dbus 1.10.18 and 1.11.0 which made the standard system bus
  more susceptible to deliberate or accidental denial of service.
