Allow user and group lookup to be disabled.
In certain cut-down situations such as an installer or inside the initramfs, we simply don't have any kind of name service. While we could use rules without OWNER or GROUP, it's better to have the same rules as a full system and have udevd ignore those parts of the rules. Adds a --resolve-names=never switch to udevd that has this effect.

The udevadm test command has no longer a --force option, nodes and symlinks
are always updated with a test run now.
+The udevd daemon can be started with --resolve-names=never to avoid all user
