Lennart Poettering 4afd3348c7 tree-wide: expose "p"-suffix unref calls in public APIs to make gcc cleanup easy
GLIB has recently started to officially support the gcc cleanup
attribute in its public API, hence let's do the same for our APIs.

With this patch we'll define an xyz_unrefp() call for each public
xyz_unref() call, to make it easy to use inside a
__attribute__((cleanup())) expression. Then, all code is ported over to
make use of this.

The new calls are also documented in the man pages, with examples how to
use them (well, I only added docs where the _unref() call itself already
had docs, and the examples, only cover sd_bus_unrefp() and
sd_event_unrefp()).

This also renames sd_lldp_free() to sd_lldp_unref(), since that's how we
tend to call our destructors these days.

Note that this defines no public macro that wraps gcc's attribute and
makes it easier to use. While I think it's our duty in the library to
make our stuff easy to use, I figure it's not our duty to make gcc's own
features easy to use on its own. Most likely, client code which wants to
make use of this should define its own:

       #define _cleanup_(function) __attribute__((cleanup(function)))

Or similar, to make the gcc feature easier to use.

Making this logic public has the benefit that we can remove three header
files whose only purpose was to define these functions internally.

See #2008.

<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_new_from_pid()</function> creates a
new credentials object and fills it with information about the

and
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_get_creds</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
<para>The information that will be stored is determined by

<constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_TTY</constant>,
<constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_UNIQUE_NAME</constant>,
<constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_WELL_KNOWN_NAMES</constant>, and
<constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_DESCRIPTION</constant>. Use the special
value <constant>_SD_BUS_CREDS_ALL</constant> to request all
supported fields. The <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_AUGMENT</constant>
constant may not be ORed into the mask for invocations of
<function>sd_bus_creds_new_from_pid()</function>.</para>
<para>Fields can be retrieved from the credentials object using
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_creds_get_pid</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
and other functions which correspond directly to the constants
listed above.</para>
<para>A mask of fields which were actually successfully retrieved
can be retrieved with
<function>sd_bus_creds_get_mask()</function>. If the credentials
object was created with
<function>sd_bus_creds_new_from_pid()</function>, this will be a
subset of fields requested in <parameter>creds_mask</parameter>.
</para>
<para>Similar to <function>sd_bus_creds_get_mask()</function>, the
function <function>sd_bus_creds_get_augmented_mask()</function>
returns a bitmask of field constants. The mask indicates which
credential fields have been retrieved in a non-atomic fashion. For
credential objects created via
<function>sd_bus_creds_new_from_pid()</function>, this mask will be
identical to the mask returned by
<function>sd_bus_creds_get_mask()</function>. However, for
credential objects retrieved via
<function>sd_bus_get_name_creds()</function>, this mask will be set
for the credential fields that could not be determined atomically
at peer connection time, and which were later added by reading
augmenting credential data from
<filename>/proc</filename>. Similarly, for credential objects
retrieved via <function>sd_bus_get_owner_creds()</function>, the
mask is set for the fields that could not be determined atomically
at bus creation time, but have been augmented. Similarly, for
credential objects retrieved via
<function>sd_bus_message_get_creds()</function>, the mask is set
for the fields that could not be determined atomically at message
sending time, but have been augmented. The mask returned by
<function>sd_bus_creds_get_augmented_mask()</function> is always a
subset of (or identical to) the mask returned by
<function>sd_bus_creds_get_mask()</function> for the same
object. The latter call hence returns all credential fields
available in the credential object, the former then marks the
subset of those that have been augmented. Note that augmented
fields are unsuitable for authorization decisions, as they may be
retrieved at different times, thus being subject to races. Hence,
augmented fields should be used exclusively for informational
purposes.
</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_ref()</function> creates a new
reference to the credentials object <parameter>c</parameter>. This
object will not be destroyed until
<function>sd_bus_creds_unref()</function> has been called as many
times plus once more. Once the reference count has dropped to zero,
<parameter>c</parameter> cannot be used anymore, so further
calls to <function>sd_bus_creds_ref(c)</function> or
<function>sd_bus_creds_unref(c)</function> are illegal.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_unref()</function> destroys a reference
to <parameter>c</parameter>.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_unrefp()</function> is similar to
<function>sd_bus_creds_unref()</function> but takes a pointer to a
pointer to an <type>sd_bus_creds</type> object. This call is useful in
conjunction with GCC's and LLVM's <ulink
url="https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Variable-Attributes.html">Clean-up
Variable Attribute</ulink>. Note that this function is defined as
inline function.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_creds_ref()</function>,
<function>sd_bus_creds_unref()</function> and

<para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_augmented_mask()</function>
