[PATCH] Fix typo in udev man page

[PATCH] Fix typo in udev man page

[Phillip Susi]

The udev man page said that a PROGRAM rule is true if the program
returned _without_ an exit code of 0.  This is backwards.  The
program returns _with_ exit code 0 to indicate success, and thus
the rule is true.

And here's a version of the patch that fixes the XML file that the
manpage is generated from.  (But not the manpage itself.)  ;-)
