udevd: use dev_t or netif ifindex as database key
We need to preserve the database of network interfaces while we
rename them. Use the kernel's numbers wherever possible, instead
of the device names.
Fix wrong database filenames which contain a '/', translated
from '!' in the kernel name.
Fix segfault for kobject pathes where the subsystem can not be
determined from sysfs.
