keyman-system-service tests

This directory defines a keyman-test-service. This is mostly identical to keyman-system-service. The differences are:

• it runs on the session bus instead of system bus
• KeyboardDevice (which in production interacts with evdev) is mocked so that the tests don't require root permissions.

The keyman-test-service gets called/used by the ibus-keyman integration tests.

This test service goes hand in hand with linux/ibus-keyman/tests/dbus-test-server: during test setup the dbus-test-server gets started (and registers its class), but also adds our services subdir (linux/keyman-system-service/tests/services) to the list of directories to be searched for services.

When during the test ibus-engine-keyman calls a method on keyman-test-service it will be started by dbus.
