change database file names

With very deeply nested devices, We can not use a single file
name to carry an entire DEVPATH. Use <subsystem>:<sysname> as
the database filename, which should also simplify the handling
of devices moving around, as these values will not change but
still be unique.

For the name stack we use the <maj>:<min> now as the filename.

+  o drop support for node names in name stack, support only symlinks
+     With well defined and kernel-supplied node names, we no longer need
+     to support a possible stack of conflicting symlinks and node names.
+     From there on, only symlinks with identical names can be claimed
+     by multiple devices. It will simplify the logic a lot and shrink
+     /dev/.udev/names/ significantly. Also exclude "*/MAJ:MIN" link names
+     from the name stack, they can not conflict.
+  o remove most NAME= rules (they are provided by the 2.6.31 kernel)
   o get rid of braindead "scan all devices to find myself" libusb interface
       if it can not be fixed, drop libusb entirely
   o convert firmware.sh to C
