Regression tests for the recent handler fixes: bogus SetRunlevel is
InvalidArgs, Signal on a stopped service is Failed, and the reboot
family declares the timeout argument. Reboot cannot be invoked
without taking down the sandbox, so the latter is asserted via
introspection. New call-u and call-su modes in dbus-auth-client.

A pass over the whole branch before merge, mostly in libink since
that is the new code and the part exposed to the wire. Grouped here
rather than scattered so the review is easy to read in one place.
libink parser and dispatch:
- Bound reader lengths so a 32-bit size_t can't wrap a wire length
past the guard and read out of bounds. Reachable pre-auth on any
bus, so it matters on the 32-bit targets Finit runs on.
- Drop a peer when a reply send fails instead of limping on with a
half-written frame; a built-in whose send failed used to fall
through and put a second frame on the wire.
initctl:
- Copy a D-Bus error name out of the reply before closing the client;
the reply points into memory the close frees. Both error paths now
share one helper so this can't creep back.
Authorization:
- Take the caller's groups from the kernel (SO_PEERCRED plus
SO_PEERGROUPS) rather than getpwuid()/getgrouplist(), which go
through NSS and can block PID 1 on a slow LDAP or SSSD backend.
The check is now a lookup against the group resolved once at init,
with no NSS and no 256 KiB array on the stack. A caller reaching
us through a broker carries no group set, so system-bus privileged
methods are root-only; the local bus keeps group support. See
libink/README.md for the note on lifting that.
Shutdown:
- Call dbus_exit() from the shutdown path so the server, its peers,
and the socket are let go cleanly. The teardown existed but nobody
called it.
Tests, CI, docs:
- A fuzz target for the message parser, run as a quick sweep in the
suite and properly under libFuzzer in CI, with the corpus carried
between runs. The -as-uid tests drop groups the way a login does
so SO_PEERGROUPS sees the right set, and widen the test socket to
reach the per-method check behind the 0660 gate. Bring the GitHub
actions up to versions that run on Node 24, and tidy a few small
things a /simplify pass turned up.

Runlevel and version are state, not actions, so they belong behind
org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties rather than another method each.
Finit also claims org.finit on the system bus when it finds one, so
ordinary D-Bus clients can reach it without knowing about
/run/finit/bus. Opportunistic on purpose: no dbus-daemon is a normal
state for the systems Finit runs on, not an error to report.

The bus can already answer questions and change services, so give
initctl the two things it still did another way: watching signals as
they happen, and getting or setting user conditions.
The dbus tests move with it, split by area rather than one file that
grew every time the library did.
