This introduces strong types for `std::string`-based D-Bus types. This facilitates safer, less error-prone and more expressive API.
What previously was `auto proxy = createProxy("org.sdbuscpp.concatenator", "/org/sdbuscpp/concatenator");` is now written like `auto proxy = createProxy(ServiceName{"org.sdbuscpp.concatenator"}, ObjectPath{"/org/sdbuscpp/concatenator"});`.
These types are:
* `ObjectPath` type for the object path (the type has been around already but now is also used consistently in sdbus-c++ API for object path strings),
* `InterfaceName` type for D-Bus interface names,
* `BusName` (and its aliases `ServiceName` and `ConnectionName`) type for bus/service/connection names,
* `MemberName` (and its aliases `MethodName`, `SignalName` and `PropertyName`) type for D-Bus method, signal and property names,
* `Signature` type for the D-Bus signature (the type has been around already but now is also used consistently in sdbus-c++ API for signature strings),
* `Error::Name` type for D-Bus error names.
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).
The integration tests were modified to use createBusConnection().
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.
