ibusManager: Spawn ibus-daemon

gnome-settings-daemon doesn't this for us anymore. Note that
ibus-daemon isn't DBus activatable but just spawning it is fine
because it does its own single instance management. The library
notifies us when it shows up and goes away through the connected and
disconnected signals.
