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.

This internally calls sd_bus_open(), which automatically selects the
system or session bus connection based on the presence and
content of a DBUS_STARTER_BUS_TYPE environment variable and
whether the calling process has root privileges.
This option is very helpful when creating services and clients that will use the system bus in production, but connect to a session
for testing.
Additional changes:
* Removed assertions null-checking make_unique() return values.
make_unique() calls new, and new is expected to throw or abort
on failure, making the assertions unhelpful.
* Corrected a typo in the ClosesAndUnrefsBusWhenDestructed
unit test for the system bus (tested the wrong function).
