bus: replace sd_bus_label_{escape,unescape}() by new sd_bus_path_{encode,decode}() The new calls work similarly, but enforce a that a common, fixed bus path prefix is used. This follows discussions with Simon McVittie on IRC that it should be a good idea to make sure that people don't use the escaping applied here too wildly as anything other than the last label of a bus path.

<para><function>sd_bus_path_encode()</function> and
<function>sd_bus_path_decode()</function> convert external
identifier strings into object paths and back. These functions are
useful to map application-specific string identifiers of any kind
into bus object paths in a simple, reversible and safe way.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_path_encode()</function> takes a bus path
prefix and an external identifier string as arguments, plus a
place to store the returned bus path string. The bus path prefix
must be a valid bus path, starting with a slash

By default, pages in sections 2 and 4 go to man7, since Michael Kerrisk is the autorative source on kernel related stuff. The rest of links goes to linux.die.net, because they have the manpages. Except for the pacman stuff, since it seems to be only available from archlinux.org. Poor gummiboot gets no link, because gummitboot(8) ain't to be found on the net. According to common wisdom, that would mean that it does not exist. But I have seen Kay using it, so I know it does, and deserves to be found. Can somebody be nice and put it up somewhere?
