[PATCH libgpiod] dbus: client: tests: fix the way we wait for simulated chips to appear

[Bartosz Golaszewski <brgl@bgdev.pl>]

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@linaro.org>

The org.freedesktop.DBus.Peer.Ping() method isn't correct for checking
if a given object is exposed by a service. It only lets us know if the
service is available no matter the object on which it's called (in fact:
it will not return an error even if it's called on a nonexistent object).

While this has worked for most part by accident, if the timing isn't
right, we may start calling methods in chips which are not yet fully
registered. We should try to read the chip's property instead and keep
on waiting for as long as org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get() returns
an error.

While at it: fix the counter increment as its syntax is invalid.

Fixes: a5ab76da1e0a ("dbus: add the D-Bus daemon, command-line client and tests")
