fix(dbus): Add error handling for DBus publishing and main loop

Wrap DBus publishing and main loop execution in try-except blocks to
capture and log failures. This ensures better visibility into errors and
prevents silent failures during runtime.

-    Executes a method on a specific D-Bus object interface within the RevPi system. This function

+    Performs a call to a D-Bus method on a specified interface and object.
+
+    This function uses the D-Bus messaging system to dynamically call a method
+    of a specified interface, using the given object path and bus type. It
+    provides a way to interact with D-Bus interfaces, using either a system or
+    session bus, and returns the result of executing the specified method.
 
     Parameters:
     method: str
-        The name of the method to be invoked on the targeted interface.
-    *args: tuple
-        Positional arguments to be passed to the method being invoked.
+        The name of the method to invoke on the D-Bus interface.
+    *args:
+        Additional positional arguments to pass to the specified D-Bus method.
     interface: str
-        The name of the D-Bus interface providing the required functionality.
-    object_path: str, optional
-        The D-Bus object path of the RevPi interface. Defaults to REVPI_DBUS_BASE_PATH.
+        The name of the D-Bus interface containing the method.
+    object_path:
+        The path of the D-Bus object on which the interface is defined. Defaults
+        to REVPI_DBUS_BASE_PATH.
+    bus_type: BusType
+        Specifies whether to use the system or session bus. Defaults to BusType.SYSTEM.
 
     Returns:
-    Any
-        The result of the method invocation on the targeted D-Bus interface.
+        The value returned by the D-Bus method.

+    Raises:
