This patchset adds another D-Bus API for attaching applications, called
AttachFD.

When application uses that API, it receives one end of a datagram socket
pair, which it's supposed to recv() from in order to receive mesh
packets, instead of wating for *MessageReceived() calls over D-Bus.

This significantly reduces system load for high traffic environment
(e.g. an application that subscribes to a large number of publications
in a big network).

Message delivery is one way only: application is still supposed to call
*Send methods via D-Bus, although the socket pair is bidirectional, so
it would be possible to add sending as well.
