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.

Harald Hoyer discovered some incorrect behavior while debugging
problems with network interface renaming:
Udev events might be queued for devices which are renamed. A new
device registered the same time may claime the old name and create
a database entry for it. The current rename logic would move over
this databse entry to the wrong device.

We can not predict the major/minor of non-existing devices:
$ grep . /sys/class/block/sd*/dev
/sys/class/block/sda1/dev:259:524288
/sys/class/block/sda2/dev:259:262144
/sys/class/block/sda3/dev:259:786432
/sys/class/block/sda4/dev:259:131072
/sys/class/block/sda/dev:259:0
/sys/class/block/sdb/dev:259:655360
/sys/class/block/sdc/dev:259:393216
If this functionality is still needed for some broken hardware, it needs to be
solved with a tool not part of the udev package. Because such option is unreliable
and unsafe to use.

We need to prevent that libudev parses half-written database files.
Also for "change" events, we need to make sure, that database files
always exist to be read by libudev, and that they are not first deleted
before they are re-created.

With very deeply nested devices, We can not use a single file
name to carry an entire DEVPATH. Use <subsystem>:<sysname> as
the database filename, which should also simplify the handling
of devices moving around, as these values will not change but
still be unique.
For the name stack we use the <maj>:<min> now as the filename.
