libink: a broker peer is not an ordinary client

libink was written peer to peer, where one connection is one client
and one principal.  Attaching to a message bus breaks both halves of
that, and two things followed from it.

Signals never reached the system bus.  Fan-out is gated on the peer
having sent AddMatch, but a broker subscribes for its own clients and
never sends us one, so every ServiceStateChanged was dropped on the
floor.  A connection attached with LINK_ATTACH_BROKER gets them all.

Hello, AddMatch and RemoveMatch write per-connection state.  Shared by
every caller behind a broker, that lets one sender exhaust the match
cap or drop another's rule, so we leave all three to the bus, whose
job they are.
