Add an option to enable autoloading plugins from the default paths.
This makes testing and adoption for new users easier as they can (if
necessary) rebuild libinput with that option enabled instead of having
to wait for the compositor stack to update.
Autoloading will only use the default paths (/etc and /usr/lib) and will
only happen if the client does not modify those paths since that implies
the client wants to load plugins themselves. A client that adds a plugin
path but doesn't load the plugins is considered buggy anyway.

This makes event handling easier where plugins queue other event frames
per frame. Our initialization guarantees that our evdev code is alway
the last plugin in the series so in the no-plugin case we just pass on
to that.
The effective event flow is now:
evdev.c -> plugin1 -> plugin2 -> evdev-plugin.c -> evdev.c
except that no plugins exist yet.

A bit quirky (haha), because we cannot do this during context creation - we
really want any parsing error messages to show up in the right log file and
the log handler isn't set up during context creation. So we do it on the first
real call to the backend - path_add_device or udev_assign_seat.
Also, failure to initialize the quirks subsystem just means we continue as
normal. This shouldn't be a hard failure, it just means a lot of devices won't
work properly.
If the LIBINPUT_DATA_DIR environment variable is set, that directory is used
for the data file. Only that directory, no custom override file in that case.

There's no guarantee that libinput does the right thing if memory allocation
fails and it's such a niche case on the systems we're targeting that it just
doesn't matter. Simply abort if zalloc ever fails.

Prefix device log messages with the device's sysname so it's more obvious
where the messages are coming from. This makes it much easier to grep for a
specific device's messages but also adds some identifier to messages that
were previously without any identifier (e.g. all the state machine debugging)
All info and error messages also automatically prefix the device name, so
those messages are standardised too, e.g
an info message now:
event4 - SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: is tagged by udev as: Touchpad
a debug message now:
event4 - using pressure-based touch detection
And since this required changing a lot of the strings in messages anyway,
polish a few minor things too.
