We cannot compare filenames directly, because paths are not sortable
lexicographically, e.g. /etc/udev is "later" (has higher priority)
than /usr/lib/udev.
The on-disk format is changed to have a separate field for "file priority",
which is stored when writing the binary file, and then loaded and used in
comparisons. For data in the previous format (as generated by systemd 232),
this information is not available, and we use a trick where the offset into the
string table is used as a proxy for priority. Most of the time strings are
stored in the order in which the files were processed. This is not entirely
reliable, but is good enough to properly order /usr/lib and /etc/, which are
the two most common cases. This hack is included because it allows proper
parsing of files until the binary hwdb is regenerated.
Instead of adding a new field, I reduced the size of line_number from 64 to 32
bits, and added a 16 bit priority field, and 16 bits of padding. Adding a new
field of 16 bytes would significantly screw up alignment and increase file
size, and line number realistically don't need more than ~20 bits.
Fixes #4750.

Extend the hwdb to store the source file-name and file-number for each
property. We simply extend the stored value struct with the new
information. It is fully backwards compatible and old readers will
continue to work.
The libudev/sd-hwdb reader is updated in a followup.

Usually, we place the #pragma once before the copyright blurb in header files,
but in a few cases we didn't. Move those around, so that we do the same thing
everywhere.

This also allows us to drop build.h from a ton of files, hence do so.
Since we touched the #includes of those files, let's order them properly
according to CODING_STYLE.

This is libudev-hwdb, but decoupled from libudev and in the libsystemd style.
The core code is unchanged, apart from the following minor changes:
- hwdb.bin located in /**/systemd/hwdb/ take preference over the ones located
in /**/udev/
- properties are stored internally in an OrderedHashmap, rather than a
linked list.
- a new API call allows individual properties to be queried directly, rather
than iterating over them all
- the iteration over properties have been moved inside the library, rather than
exposing a list directly
- the unused 'flags' parameter was dropped
