keyboard: Introduce a SetInputSource DBus method
The only way for external components to activate an input source is by setting the gsettings key. That's not optimal since external components then have no way of knowing when exactly the switch is completed. This commit introduces a DBus method to set an input source and we make sure to only return the method after all the changes have been made, i.e. the XKB keyboard description has been changed and the IBus engine (if any) has been activated. E.g. gnome-shell can use this method and freeze keyboard events in the X server until it hears back from g-s-d to ensure that events won't be misinterpreted after an input source switch. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=696996
