plugin ad-hoc D-Bus: fix deprecated use of python-dbus: the plugin was using python-dbus which is deprecated in the backend in the favor of TxDBus. Methods calls have been updated, and the plugin works again, but there seems to be still some issues (warnings in the logs). Those will be fixed later.
