Commit c0e7022 breaks on a machine that lacks dbus headers:
In file included from util/virdbus.c:24:0:
util/virdbuspriv.h:31:3: error: unknown type name 'dbus_int16_t'
* src/util/virdbuspriv.h (DBusBasicValue): Only provide fallback
when dbus is compiled.

Compilation on a RHEL 5 host failed, due to the older dbus headers
present on that machine, and triggered by commit 2aa167ca:
util/virdbus.c: In function 'virDBusMessageIterDecode':
util/virdbus.c:952: error: 'DBusBasicValue' undeclared (first use in this function)
* m4/virt-dbus.m4 (LIBVIRT_CHECK_DBUS): Check for DBusBasicValue.
* src/util/virdbuspriv.h (DBusBasicValue): Provide fallback.

Split the virDBusMethodCall method into a couple of new methods
virDBusCall, virDBusCreateMethod and virDBusCreateMethodV.

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.
