config: add replies and dbus api documentation
Add replies, which use standard X error values, to the two currently-supported input configuration requests. Document the D-BUS API we use. Make sure we free everything when we encounter an error. Add a _source option to all incoming requests, noting that it came from a client. Reject all requests to add a device where an option name contains an underscore.

+D-BUS Configuration API v0.1
+----------------------------
+
+The X server will register the bus name org.x.config.displayN, and the
+object /org/x/config/N, where N is the display number.
+
+Currently only hotplugging of input devices is supported.
+
+org.x.config.input:
+ org.x.config.input.add:
+ Takes an argument of key/value option pairs in arrays, e.g.:
+ [ss][ss][ss][ss]
+ is the signature for four options. These options will be passed
+ to the input driver as with any others.
+ Option names beginning with _ are not allowed; they are reserved
+ for internal use.
+
+ Returns one int32, which is an X Status, as defined in X.h. If
+ everything is successful, Success will be returned. BadMatch will
+ be returned if the options given do not match any device. BadValue
+ is returned for a malformed message.
+
+ Notably, BadAlloc is never returned: the server internally signals
+ to D-BUS that the attempt failed for lack of memory.
+
+ The return does not notify the client of which devices were created
+ or modified as a result of this request: clients are encouraged to
+ listen for the XInput DevicePresenceNotify event to monitor changes
+ in the device list.
+
+ org.x.config.input.remove:
+ Takes one int32 argument, which is the device ID to remove, i.e.:
+ i
+ is the signature.
+ Same return values as org.x.config.input.add.
