tp_connection_manager_param_dup_variant_type: add

In order for this to work, TpProtocol now ignores parameters whose
D-Bus signatures are not a syntactically valid single complete type.

This is helpful for Mission Control to be able to migrate parameters
from untyped to typed storage - it stores parameters in terms of
GVariant.
