Subject: [PATCH] dbus-gvalue: set an error when demarshal_basic doesn't recognize type

By passing dbus_g_proxy_call an incorrect signature, we can cause
the function to fail but not provide any error message.  This isn't
helpful.  This patch causes it to set an error when demarshalling
a type that it's not expecting.  Instead of a NULL error, one instead
sees something like the following when the method returns a path
object but the client expected a string:

modem Create() failed: Expected type gchararray, got type code 'o'
