doc/dbus-specification.xml: mention the reserved o.fd.DBus.Local interface
and the corresponding /o/fd/DBus/Local object path; describe them as reserved and forbid using them in a sent message, mentioning that in the reference implementation this will cause the connection to be dropped. Patch approved by Havoc.
