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.

UDev follows the kernel given name, and re-uses the kernel created
device node. If the kernel and spcecified udev rules disagree, the
udev specified node node is created and the kernel-created on is
deleted.

Scott discovered that a changed rule, which renames a device node
leaves the old node name around as a symlink. So drop the reference
to the old name.

Since a while we change the database with a "test" run, but do not update
the node and symlinks. We need to "force" all the time, to keep things
in sync.

No need to check if links that still belong to us, need to be updated.
