Commit f1088c8 weakened a test, by not passing a value larger
than INT_MAX through an int slot. Make the fix in a different
way, using an explicit negative value. Suggested by Dan Berrange.
* tests/virdbustest.c (testMessageArray): Adjust previous fix.
(testMessageStruct): Use a negative number.

The way we were casting small (<32bit) integers was broken
on big endian hosts, causing stack smashing. This was detected
in the test suite either by test failures due to incorrect
results, or by libc/gcc abort'ing with its stack canary
triggered.

since sizeof(int) != sizeof(long long) on 32bit archs.
This unbreaks virdbustest which otherwise fails like:

Doing DBus method calls using libdbus.so is tedious in the
extreme. systemd developers came up with a nice high level
API for DBus method calls (sd_bus_call_method). While
systemd doesn't use libdbus.so, their API design can easily
be ported to libdbus.so.
This patch thus introduces methods virDBusCallMethod &
virDBusMessageRead, which are based on the code used for
sd_bus_call_method and sd_bus_message_read. This code in
systemd is under the LGPLv2+, so we're license compatible.
This code is probably pretty unintelligible unless you are
familiar with the DBus type system. So I added some API
docs trying to explain how to use them, as well as test
cases to validate that I didn't screw up the adaptation
from the original systemd code.
