Provide full set of systemd's Manager API #931
Description
BlueChi currently only provides a subset of the APIs provided by systemd's Manager API (https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/dbus/) - method, signal and properties. The following table contains a comparison between both - evaluating if the API in systemd exists in BlueChi, if it should be added and a link to the GitHub issue where it is tackled.
Note:
- If the API should be implemented is up for discussion.
- Please refer to the documentation page for systemd for details about the individual method, signal or property.
