Add D-Bus annotations on a few properties on the Client object.

The D-Bus property "Secret" on the interface
"se.recompile.Mandos.Client" should have the annotation
"org.freedesktop.DBus.Property.EmitsChangedSignal" set to
"invalidates".  Also, the properties "Created", "Fingerprint", "Name",
and "ObjectPath" should have the same annotation set to "const".

* mandos (ClientDBus.Name_dbus_property): Set annotation
                    "org.freedesktop.DBus.Property.EmitsChangedSignal"
                    to "const".
  (ClientDBus.Fingerprint_dbus_property): - '' -
  (ClientDBus.Created_dbus_property): - '' -
  (ClientDBus.ObjectPath_dbus_property): - '' -
  (ClientDBus.Secret_dbus_property): Set annotation
                    "org.freedesktop.DBus.Property.EmitsChangedSignal"
                    to "invalidates".
