gudev: Deliver ::uevent signal in the thread-default main loop
... that the GUdevClient object was constructed in. This change makes GUdev follow the GLib guidelines and, more importantly, makes it possible to actually use the library in a multi-threaded application. Prior to this patch, signals were emitted in the thread that ran the "default" main loop. Signed-off-by: David Zeuthen <davidz@redhat.com>
