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.
