Stanislav Angelovič fbb4a23e62 refactor: rename connection creation methods (#406)
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).

* call should block for that up to the returned PollData::timeout.

* Additionally, returned PollData::eventFd should be polled for POLLIN
* events.
*
* After each I/O polling call the bus connection needs to process
* incoming or outgoing data, by invoking processPendingEvent().
*
* Note that the returned timeout should be considered only a maximum
* sleeping time. It is permissible (and even expected) that shorter
* timeouts are used by the calling program, in case other event sources
* are polled in the same event loop. Note that the returned time-value
* is absolute, based of CLOCK_MONOTONIC and specified in microseconds.
* Use PollData::getPollTimeout() to have the timeout value converted
* in a form that can be passed to poll(2).
