udev 131
====
Bugfixes. (And maybe new bugs. :))

The rule matching engine got converted from a rule list to a token
array which reduced the in-memory rules representation of a full
featured distro with thousands of udev rules from 1.2MB to 0.12 MB.
Limits like 5 ENV and ATTR matches, and one single instance for most
other keys per rule are gone.

The NAME assignment is no longer special cased. If later rules assign
a NAME value again, the former value will be overwritten. As usual
for most other keys, the NAME value can be protected by doing a final
assignment with NAME:="<value>".

All udev code now uses libudev, which is also exported. The library
is still under development, marked as experimental, and its interface
may change as long as the DeviceKit integration is not finished.

Many thanks to Alan Jenkins for his continuous help, and finding and
optimizing some of the computing expensive parts.
