Re-fix the DBus list handling code by killing const GList* / const GSList* everywhere. Now we maintain a list of functions which return a GList or GSList which must not be freed. Ideally at some point this will be replaced with code that looks at the Doxygen comment for the function and honors @constreturn, which I've declared as a macro around @return that prints a @note about not modifying or freeing the returned value.

"Related Pages" section.

You can also generate this documentation locally by installing
doxygen and graphviz dot, then running "make docs" in the
source tree.  The documentation will be in the docs/html directory.
