Lennart Poettering 0c69794138 tree-wide: remove Lennart's copyright lines
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary. With
SPDX and git repository much more accurate and fine grained information
about licensing and authorship is available, hence let's drop the
per-file copyright notice. Of course, removing copyright lines of others
is problematic, hence this commit only removes my own lines and leaves
all others untouched. It might be nicer if sooner or later those could
go away too, making git the only and accurate source of authorship
information.

<title>Description</title>
<para>
<function>sd_bus_get_n_queued_read()</function> may be used to query the number of bus messages in the read queue
of a bus connection object. The read queue contains all messages read from the transport medium (e.g. network
socket) but not yet processed locally. The function expects two arguments: the bus object to query, and a pointer
to a 64bit counter variable to write the current queue size to. Use <function>sd_bus_process()</function> in
order to process queued messages, i.e. to reduce the size of the read queue (as well as, in fact, the write
queue, see below).
</para>
<para>
Similarly, <function>sd_bus_get_n_queued_write()</function> may be used to query the number of currently pending
bus messages in the write queue of a bus connection object. The write queue contains all messages enqueued into
the connection with a call such as <function>sd_bus_send()</function> but not yet written to the transport
medium. The expected arguments are similar to <function>sd_bus_get_n_queued_read()</function>. Here too, use
<function>sd_bus_process()</function> to reduce the size of the write queue. Alternatively, use
<function>sd_bus_flush()</function> to synchronously write out any pending bus messages until the write queue is
empty.
