Adds the -d option to run mdev in daemon mode handling hotplug events
from the kernel like udev. If the system generates many hotplug events
this mode of operation will consume less resources than registering
mdev as hotplug helper or using the uevent applet.

This purely moves code from main() to separate functions for better

Currently some new devices that have a bus but no class will
be missed by mdev coldplug device creation after boot. This
happens because mdev recursively searches /sys/class which will
by definition only find class devices.
Some important devices such as iio and gpiochip does not have
a class. But users will need them.
This switches from using /sys/class as the place to look for
devices to create to using /sys/dev where all char and block
devices are listed.
The subsystem lookup code that provide the G.subsystem
environment variable is changed from using the directory
name of the class device to instead dereference the
"subsystem" symlink for the device, and look at the last
element of the path of the symlink for the subsystem, which
will work with class devices and bus devices alike. (The new
bus-only devices only symlink to the /sys/bus/* hierarchy.)
We delete the legacy kernel v2.6.2x /sys/block device path
code as part of this change. It's too old to be kept alive.
Tested on kernel v4.6-rc2 with a bunch of devices, including
some IIO and gpiochip devices.
With a print inserted before make_device() the log looks
like so:
Create device from "/sys/dev/char/1:1", subsystem "mem"
Create device from "/sys/dev/char/1:2", subsystem "mem"
Create device from "/sys/dev/char/1:3", subsystem "mem"
Create device from "/sys/dev/char/1:5", subsystem "mem"
(...)
Create device from "/sys/dev/block/179:56", subsystem "block"
Create device from "/sys/dev/block/179:64", subsystem "block"

Introduce a library routine to package the idiom:
p = xmalloc(b, n);
memcpy(p, b, n);
and use it where possible. The example in traceroute used xzalloc
but it didn't need to.

This was seen to happen if two mdevs are run in parallel,
mdev.seq is empty, and the "newer" one manages to write it first.

516530c932 uses $DEVNAME variable
for device node name. This is fine, but only works for hotplugging,
"mdev -s" will behave differently when DEVNAME and basename(path)
differ.
This patch extracts the DEVNAME from the uevent sysfs file in
make_device(), thus works for hot- and coldplugging; so using
the environment DEVNAME on hotplug events is no longer necessary.

Sequential run of concurrent mdev's was too simplistic:
they waited for /dev/mdev.seq to match. This could sometimes
cause cumulative loss of time on the order of a second.
Added SIGCHLD signaling from exiting mdev to all other mdev's.
Added debugging required to see that code actually works as intended.
Example of /dev/mdev.log (with "woken up" elevated from dbg lvl 3 to 2):

It was colliding with matching of devnames with slashes.
We need a more generic way to examine env.vars in rules anyway.
