To support dbus-monitor with custom matches, this commit makes
BecomeMonitor() treat the matches special and allows parsing eavesdrop
rules just like we used to:

match: drop support for eavesdropping
We still silently ignore the flag, since it carries no meaning for
monitors, and in all other cases we do not allow it, anyway.
