Niels Grewe 383d61bf75 Merge DBusKit-ThreadRewrite branch. DBusKit now offloads all interactions with
libdbus to a separate thread and uses DKEndpointManager as a gateway to do so.
The new behaviour is disabled by default and can be enabled by calling [DKPort
enableWorkerThread].
This also contains various smaller improvements and fixes bugs that were exposed
when stuff was taking place asynchronously.
