[PATCH] $local user

We once implemented the devfsd feature to set the owner of a device node
to the "local" user. This was before we had the dev.d/ scripts. We discussed
a similar issue with D-BUS recently and this should be better handled depending
on the distributions way to do such a thing.

I'm for removing this here as this can be easily covered by a dev.d/
script.

Here is the patch if nobody objects :)

-The value
-.I $local
-can be used instead of a specific username.  In that case, udev will determine
-the current local user at the time of device node creation and substitute
-that username as the owner of the new device node.  This is useful, for
-example, to let hot-plugged devices, such as cameras, be owned by the user at
-the current console.  Note that if no user is currently logged in, or if udev
-otherwise fails to determine a current user, the
-.I default_owner
-value is used in lieu.
