dbus-send supports messages containing arrays and other types which are not
documented on the manpage.

The attached patch against dbus-1.0.2/tools/dbus-send.1 documents the syntax for
array, dict, and variant.

It also corrects a minor typo in the --dest argument and expands the list of
parseable types to include: objpath, int16, uint16, int64, and uint64.

In any case, please consider including at least the example for arrays and
dicts, as these are actually useful in real life but the syntax is not easy to
discover.
