Vito Caputo 935052a8aa sd-bus: add va_list variants of variadic convenience functions
Consumers of the sd-bus convenience API can't make convenience
helpers of their own without va_list variants.

This commit is a mechanical change splitting out the existing function
bodies into bare va_list variants having a 'v' suffixed to the names.

The original functions now simply create the va_list before forwarding
the call on to the va_list variant, and the va_list variants dispense
with those steps.
