Subject: [PATCH] gdbusconnection: Allow name owners to have the syntax of a
 well-known name

In a D-Bus-Specification-compliant message bus, the owner of a well-known
name is a unique name. However, ibus has its own small implementation
of a message bus (src/ibusbus.c) in which org.freedesktop.IBus is
special-cased to also have itself as its owner (like org.freedesktop.DBus
on a standard message bus), and connects to that bus with the
G_DBUS_CONNECTION_FLAGS_MESSAGE_BUS_CONNECTION flag. The ability to do
this regressed when CVE-2024-34397 was fixed.

Relax the checks to allow the owner of a well-known name to be any valid
D-Bus name, even if it is not syntactically a unique name.

Fixes: 683b14b9 "gdbus: Track name owners for signal subscriptions"
