TpProxy: rewrite async and reentrant calls

An outline of the significant differences:

* the old code used DBusGProxy, but the new code does not need a proxy
  object of any sort, simplifying life-cycles
* the new code does not need to jump through hoops to push the reply
  into an idle unless it is responding with an immediate error, because
  GDBus always replies in an idle anyway
* old GValueArray replaced by new GVariant
* TpProxyInvokeFunc freed its GError or GValueArray argument,
  TpProxyWrapperFunc does not
* the old codegen had to do the actual dbus-glib call itself because
  dbus-glib's API was varargs, whereas the new codegen can rely on
  tp_proxy_pending_call_v1_new() to do that on its behalf (reducing
  API surface area, taking responsibility away from generated code,
  and giving that responsibility to hand-written code)
* the old codegen had to generate a callback for dbus-glib to call
  back into, whereas the new code can share one callback between
  all possible calls
* the deprecated reentrant calls in the old codegen were open-coded,
  whereas the new codegen produces a simple wrapper around the async
  version
