Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 6fc5a40438 man: add udev.conf(5)
We generally have separate man pages for all configuration files.
In this case udev.conf was already described in systemd-udevd.service(8),
but it was hard to find. Docbook makes it hard to add a .so link from
a different section, so describe udev.conf in its own page.

<para><command>systemd-udevd</command> listens to kernel uevents.
For every event, systemd-udevd executes matching instructions
specified in udev rules. See <citerefentry>

</citerefentry>.</para>
<para>The behavior of the running daemon can be changed
dynamically with <command>udevadm control</command>, or
configured using
