* dbus/dbus-auth.c: Rewrite auth protocol handling to use a state
machine approach. A state is implemented as a function that
handles incoming events as specified for that state.
* doc/dbus-specification.xml: Update auth protocol state machine
specification to match implementation. Remove some leftover
base64 examples.
