[glib: 5/7] gdbus-example-peer: Provide an example GDBusAuthObserver

    gdbus-example-peer: Provide an example GDBusAuthObserver
    
    It's somewhat unrealistic to use a GDBusServer without a
    GDBusAuthObserver, because most D-Bus servers want to be like the
    standard session bus (the owning user can connect) rather than being
    like the standard system bus (all users can connect, the server is a
    security boundary, and many bugs are security vulnerabilities).
