Subject: [PATCH 1/2] manager: Fix possible crash by initializing display

Some people insist on running sessions in ways where we cannot detect
them properly. In that case, we shouldn't find a display, but the
variable was not initialized and we could end up accessing random memory
resulting in a crash.

Fix it by adding the missing initializer.

Closes: #555

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] manager: Always write out parameter

The get_display_and_details_for_bus_sender function does not return a
proper error value. Due to this, it makes sense to always write the out
parameters (though, I expect we have still more that we might need to
write).

This is just slightly safer, but the function probably isn't great as
is.
