[PATCH] udev - drop all methods :)

>     (just exit with nozero in a script if the rule should not match)
>
>   o rules are processed in order they appear in the file, no priority

Here is a slightly better version of the patch.
After a conversation with Patrick, we are now able to execute the PROGRAM
and also match in all following rules with the RESULT value from this exec.


EXAMPLE:
  We have 7 rules with RESULT and 2 with PROGRAM.
  Only the 5th rule matches with the callout result from the exec in the 4th rule.

RULES:
  PROGRAM="/bin/echo abc", RESULT="no_match", NAME="web-no-2"
  KERNEL="video*", RESULT="123", NAME="web-no-3"
  KERNEL="video*", RESULT="123", NAME="web-no-4"
  PROGRAM="/bin/echo 123", RESULT="no_match", NAME="web-no-5"
  KERNEL="video*", RESULT="123", NAME="web-yes"


RESULT:
  Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: process rule
  Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: check PROGRAM
  Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: execute_program: executing '/bin/echo abc'
  Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: execute_program: result is 'abc'
  Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: PROGRAM returned successful
  Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: check for RESULT dev->result='no_match', udev->program_result='abc'
  Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: RESULT is not matching
  Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: process rule
  Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: check for KERNEL dev->kernel='video*' class_dev->name='video0'
  Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: KERNEL matches
  Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: check for RESULT dev->result='123', udev->program_result='abc'
  Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: RESULT is not matching

  Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: RESULT is not matching
  Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: process rule
  Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: check PROGRAM
  Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: execute_program: executing '/bin/echo 123'
  Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: execute_program: result is '123'
  Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: PROGRAM returned successful

  Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: KERNEL matches
  Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: check for RESULT dev->result='123', udev->program_result='123'
  Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: RESULT matches
  Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: found matching rule, 'video*' becomes ''
  Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: name, 'web-yes' is going to have owner='', group='', mode = 0600
