This PR makes things around connection factories a little more consistent and more intuitive:
* createConnection() has been removed. One shall call more expressive createSystemConnection() instead to get a connection to the system bus.
* createDefaultBusConnection() has been renamed to createBusConnection(), so as not to be confused with libsystemd's default_bus, which is a different thing (a reusable thread-local bus).
Proxies still by default call createBusConnection() to get a connection when the connection is not provided explicitly by the caller, but now createBusConnection() does a different thing, so now the proxies connect to either session bus or system bus depending on the context (as opposed to always to system bus like before).
fix timeout handling
* Despite what is documented in sd_bus_get_timeout(3), the timeout
returned is actually an absolute time point of Linux's CLOCK_MONOTONIC
clock. Hence, we first have to subtract the current time from the
timeout in order to get a relative time that can be passed to poll.
* For async call timeouts to reliably work, we need a way to notify the
event loop of a connection that is currently blocked waiting in poll.
I.e. assume the event loop thread entered poll with a timeout set to
T1. Afterwards, the main thread starts an async call C with a timeout
T2 < T1. In order for C to be canceled after its timeout T1 has
elapsed, we have to be able to notify the event loop so that it can
update its poll data.

Even though they have the same value, they are something fundamentally different.
Therefore it is extremely confusing if the constant INTERFACE_NAME is passed
where actually a well-known BUS_NAME (destination) should go.
* fix: minor documentation and test improvements
* doc: add link to tests in standard interfaces tutorial secion
* Update README.md
