Lennart Poettering e503019bc7 tree-wide: when in doubt use greek small letter mu rather than micro symbol
Doesn't really matter since the two unicode symbols are supposedly
equivalent, but let's better follow the unicode recommendations to
prefer greek small letter mu, as per:

<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_bus_wait()</function> synchronously waits for I/O on the specified bus connection object. This
function is supposed to be called whenever
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_process</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> returns zero,
indicating that no work is pending on the connection. Internally, this call invokes <citerefentry
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>ppoll</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>, to wait for I/O on
the bus connection. If the <parameter>timeout_usec</parameter> parameter is specified, the call will block at most
for the specified amount of time in μs. Pass <constant>UINT64_MAX</constant> to permit it to sleep
indefinitely.</para>
<para>After each invocation of <function>sd_bus_wait()</function> the <function>sd_bus_process()</function> call
should be invoked in order to process any now pending I/O work.</para>
<para>Note that <function>sd_bus_wait()</function> is suitable only for simple programs as it does not permit
waiting for other I/O events. For more complex programs either connect the bus connection object to an external
event loop using <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_get_fd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
or to an <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-event</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> event loop
using
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_attach_event</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
<para>If any I/O was seen, a positive value is returned, zero otherwise. If an error occurs, a negative
<varname>errno</varname>-style error code is returned.</para>

<title>Errors</title>
<para>Returned errors may indicate the following problems:</para>
