All setters (whether implicit for read-write properties or explicit) return
success instead of the internal return value because DBus does not like
non-standard error values. Upon a ratbag error, the `Resync` signal is emitted
on the device, indicating that clients should resync their values.
Changing settings on a device is a three-step process:
- change the various properties to the desired value
- invoke ``org.freedesktop.ratbag1.Device.Commit()``
- optional: if an error occured writing the new data to the device,
a ``org.freedesktop.ratbag1.Resync`` signal is emitted on the device and
all properties are updated accordingly.
