Emit D-Bus "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.PropertiesChanged" signal.

This deprecates the "se.recompile.Mandos.Client.PropertyChanged"
signal.  The new signal also adds support for noticing changes to the
"se.recompile.Mandos.Client.Secret" write-only property.

* mandos (dbus_annotations): Fix usage example in doc string.
  (DBusObjectWithProperties.PropertiesChanged): New; from D-Bus
                                                standard.
  (ClientDBus._interface): Set early instead of later.
  (ClientDBus.notifychangeproperty): Take new "invalidate_only"
                                     parameter, and pass in _interface
                                     as a default keyword argument.
  (ClientDBus.notifychangeproperty/setter): Also emit
                                            PropertiesChanged signal;
                                            emit new value or
                                            invalidation depending on
                                            "invalidate_only".
  (ClientDBus.secret): Apply notifychangeproperty with
                       "invalidate_only=True".
  (ClientDBus._foo): Removed defunct interface annotation.
  (ClientDBus.PropertyChanged): Add annotation; this method is now
                                deprecated.
  (main/MandosDBusService.GetAllClientsWithProperties): Use dictionary
                                                        comprehension.
* DBUS-API (Mandos Client Interface/Signals/PropertyChanged): Removed.
* mandos-monitor: Use standard "PropertiesChanged" signal instead of
                  old signal "PropertyChanged".
  (MandosClientPropertyCache.__init__): Connect to signal
                                        PropertiesChanged instead of
                                        PropertyChanged.
  (MandosClientPropertyCache._property_changed): Removed.
  (MandosClientPropertyCache.property_changed): Renamed to
                                                "properties_changed"
                                                and adapted to new
                                                call signature.
  (MandosClientWidget.properties_changed): - '' -

  This is part of the Mandos system for allowing computers to have
6
 
  encrypted root file systems and also be capable of remote and
7
 
  unattended reboots.  The computers run a small client program in the
8
 
  initial RAM disk environment which will communicate with a server
9
 
  over a network.  The clients are identified by the server using a
10
 
  OpenPGP key; each client has one unique to it.  The server sends the
11
 
  clients an encrypted password.  The encrypted password is decrypted
12
 
  by the clients using the same OpenPGP key, and the password is then
13
 
  used to unlock the root file system, whereupon the computers can
14
 
  continue booting normally.
