Add gRPC API implementation
Changes:
- Rename the existing daemon to applaunchd-dbus, and add a new
version that exposes a gRPC based implementation of the API based
on the protobuf definition added in a top-level protos directory.
Having both the D-Bus and gRPC APIs exposed by a single daemon was
posing difficulties around startup dependencies stemming from D-Bus
activation of the daemon. Since the end goal is dropping the D-Bus
API entirely, it is easier to just add a second daemon for gRPC that
will eventually be the only one present.
- To facilitate building the two implementations, a significant amount
of code refactoring has been done to move things from the D-Bus API
implementing app_launcher.[ch] to systemd_manager.[ch] so the code
can be reused.
- All use of the systemd D-Bus library except for the path encoding
helper function has been replaced with GDBus. The systemd interface
wrapper code was generated with gdbus-codegen from XML files captured
via introspection on a running system. The motivation for this
change was to avoid multithreading issues with sd_bus exposed when
calling into it from the gRPC threads.
- The copyright headers in the source files have been tweaked to
remove the Apache license boilerplate in favour of a SPDX license
tag.
Notes:
- The gRPC API differs slightly from the D-Bus one in that it has a
single status streaming RPC method as opposed to the separate signals
for application started or terminated that the D-Bus API has.
- The gRPC API is currently unauthenticated, the aim is to circle back
and implement authentication once a consensus can be reached on what
mechanism should be used (fixed JWT configuration, OAuth, etc.).
