Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek b1de39dec8 man: make separate "Errors" sections subsection of "Return value"
Logically, this is better, because we're describing a subset of possible
return values. Visually this also looks quite good because groff renders
refsect2 much less prominently.

Also rewrap things, add <constant> in various places, fix some typos.

<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_bus_message_set_expect_reply()</function> sets or clears the
<constant>NO_REPLY_EXPECTED</constant> flag on the message <parameter>m</parameter>. This flag
matters only for method call messages and is used to specify that no method return or error
reply is expected. It is ignored for other types. Thus, for a method call message, calling
<programlisting>sd_bus_message_set_expect_reply(…, 0)</programlisting> sets the flag and
suppresses the reply.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_message_get_expect_reply()</function> checks if the
<constant>NO_REPLY_EXPECTED</constant> flag is set on the message <parameter>m</parameter>. It
will return positive if it is not set, and zero if it is.</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_message_set_auto_start()</function> sets or clears the
<constant>NO_AUTO_START</constant> flag on the message <parameter>m</parameter>. When the flag
is set the bus must not launch an owner for the destination name in response to this message.
Calling
<programlisting>sd_bus_message_set_auto_start(…, 0)</programlisting> sets the flag.
</para>
<para><function>sd_bus_message_get_auto_start()</function> checks if the
<constant>NO_AUTO_START</constant> flag is set on the message <parameter>m</parameter>. It
will return positive if it is not set, and zero if it is.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, these functions return 0 or a positive integer. On failure, they return a
negative errno-style error code.</para>

<title>Errors</title>
