A first step of removing blocking calls to the D-Bus broker from PID 1. There's a lot more to got (i.e. grep src/core/ for sd_bus_creds basically), but it's a start. Removing blocking calls to D-Bus broker deals systematicallly with deadlocks caused by dbus-daemon blocking on synchronous IPC calls back to PID1 (e.g. Varlink calls through nss-systemd). Bugs such as #15316. Also-see: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/22038#issuecomment-1042958390
