* Throughout, grand renaming to strip out the use of "service",
just say "name" instead (or "bus name" when ambiguous). Did not
change the internal code of the message bus itself, only the
programmer-facing API and messages.
* doc/dbus-specification.xml: further update the message bus section
* bus/config-parser.c (all_are_equiv): fix bug using freed string
in error case
