Event processes now get re-used after they handled an event. This reduces
pressure on the CPU significantly because cloned event processes no longer
cause page faults in the main daemon. After the events have settled, the
no longer needed worker processes get killed.
UDev follows the kernel given name, and re-uses the kernel created
device node. If the kernel and spcecified udev rules disagree, the
udev specified node node is created and the kernel-created on is
deleted.
Messages send back by the udev daemon to the netlink socket are
multiplexed by the kernel and delivered to multiple clients. The
clients can upload a socket filter to let the kernel drop messages
not belonging to a certain subsystem. This prevent needless wakeups
and message processing for users who are only interested in a
subset of available events.
Recent kernels allow untrusted users to listen to the netlink
messages.
The messages send by the udev daemon are versioned, to prevent any
custom software reading them without libudev. The message wire format
may change with any udev version update.
For added protection, ignore any unicast message received on the
netlink socket or any multicast message on the kernel group not
received from the kernel.

The netlink socket is now used by udev event processes. We should take
care not to pass it to the programs they execute. This is the same way
the inotify fd was handled.

Instead of of our own private monitor socket, we send the
processed event back to our netlink socket, to the multicast
group 2 -- so any number of users can listen to udev events,
just like they can listen to kernel emitted events on group 1.
Use calloc to request cleared memory instead.
Kernel and libc conspire to make this more efficient.
Also, replace one malloc() + strcpy() with strdup().

strerror() is not threadsafe. It uses a buffer to build messages of the form
"Unknown error 387689".
syslog() provides a %m format which is equivalent to strerror(errno).
As a GNU extension, this is also accepted by printf and friends.
At least in the current implementation, it is correctly threadsafe.
