    config: add udev/systemd multi-seat support · 159b03e1

    Add support for multi-seat-aware input device hotplugging. This
    implements the multi-seat scheme explained here:
    
    http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/multiseat
    
    
    
    This introduces a new X server switch "-seat" which allows configuration
    of the seat to enumerate hotplugging devices on. If specified the value
    of this parameter will also be exported as root window property
    Xorg_Seat.
    
    To properly support input hotplugging devices need to be tagged in udev
    according to the seat they are on. Untagged devices are assumed to be on
    the default seat "seat0". If no "-seat" parameter is passed only devices
    on "seat0" are used. This means that the new scheme is perfectly
    compatible with existing setups which have no tagged input devices.
    
    Note that the -seat switch takes a completely generic identifier, and
    that it has no effect on non-Linux systems. In fact, on other OSes a
    completely different identifier scheme for seats could be used but still
    be exposed with the Xorg_Seat and -seat.
    
    I tried to follow the coding style of the surrounding code blocks if
    there was any one could follow.
