Can't get the connection name that originated a method call #13

As far as I can tell, it's not possible to get the connection name that originated a method call (when publishing an object). This makes it impossible to authenticate the caller based on their UID or other attributes.

I had a similar problem and hacked pydbus a bit. See https://github.com/akruis/pydbus/blob/master/pydbus/tests/publish_async.py for an example. I'll create a pull request, once I performed some more tests.

Update: pull request is #15
