libinput-device-group: sanitize phys before printing it

A malicious uinput device could set the phys value (via UI_SET_PHYS)
to contain a '\n'. When the value is printed as part of the device group
the udev rules will interpret it as separate property.

Depending on the property this can cause local privilege escalation.

Closes #1296
