move rules parsing into daemon
The rules files are parsed only once at daemon startup. Every udev event process will be fork()'d from udevd without exec()'ing the udev binary. The in-memory rules will be inherited from the daemon itself. If inotify is available, udevd will reload all rules if any change in /etc/udev/rules.d/ happens. Otherwise -HUP or "udevcontrol reload_rules" can be used. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@suse.de>
