we need the signal anyway, because a second application might be request
the authentication and if your first application displays different
icons for authenticated or unauthenticated connection then it should be
told that this connection is now authenticated. The same applies for the
encryption.

We don't need the handle and the address. Use the address only, because
connection handles should be only used in hcid and the kernel.
