* dbus/dbus-test.c: enclose more of the file in the
DBUS_BUILD_TESTS check.
* dbus/dbus-sysdeps-pthread.c (PTHREAD_CHECK): fix for
DBUS_DISABLE_ASSERT case.
* dbus/dbus-connection.c (dbus_connection_get_unix_user): document
that it only works on the server side
* dbus/dbus-bus.c: add a global lock covering the BusData we
attach to each connection
(internal_bus_get): lock our access to the BusData
(dbus_bus_register): lock the entire registration process
with _DBUS_LOCK(bus_datas). If we get the lock and
registration is already complete, silently return (vs. previous
behavior of aborting).
(dbus_bus_set_unique_name): lock the BusData
(dbus_bus_get_unique_name): lock the BusData
