Use a non-blocking syslog socket if logging from PID 1.
If sendmsg fails with EAGAIN, fall back to kmsg or console only for the
current message. Next message will try syslog again.
Chen Jie observed and analyzed a deadlock. Assuming systemd-kmsg-syslogd
is already stopped, but rsyslogd is not started yet:
1. systemd makes a synchronous call to dbus-daemon.
2. dbus-daemon wants to write something to syslog.
3. syslog needs to be started by systemd.
... but cannot be, because systemd is waiting in 1.
Solve this by avoiding synchronous D-Bus calls. I had to write an async
bus registration call. Interestingly, D-Bus authors anticipated this, in
documentation to dbus_bus_set_unique_name():

So it may not be perfect, but it's clearly an improvement.
I did not manage to reproduce the original deadlock with the patch.
