Checking if we are root on the client side is generally pointless, since the
privileged operation will fail anyway and we can than log what precisly went
wrong.
A check like this makes sense only if:
- we need to do some expensive unprivileged operation before attempting the
privileged operation, and the check allows us avoid wasting resources.
- the privileged operation would fail but in an unclear way.
Neither of those cases applies here.
This fixes calls like 'udevadm control -h' as unprivileged user.
The function util_log_priority() is almost same as
log_level_from_string(). The difference between them is only that
util_log_priority() accepts such that '3 hogehoge'.
This effectively reverts 2bc54be485
and relevant changes in #9920, as it is used to determine the version
of udev, e.g., dracut.

This drops a good number of type-specific _cleanup_ macros, and patches
all users to just use the generic ones.
In most recent code we abstained from defining type-specific macros, and
this basically removes all those added already, with the exception of
the really low-level ones.
Having explicit macros for this is not too useful, as the expression
without the extra macro is generally just 2ch wider. We should generally
emphesize generic code, unless there are really good reasons for
specific code, hence let's follow this in this case too.
Note that _cleanup_free_ and similar really low-level, libc'ish, Linux
API'ish macros continue to be defined, only the really high-level OO
ones are dropped. From now on this should really be the rule: for really
low-level stuff, such as memory allocation, fd handling and so one, go
ahead and define explicit per-type macros, but for high-level, specific
program code, just use the generic _cleanup_() macro directly, in order
to keep things simple and as readable as possible for the uninitiated.
Note that before this patch some of the APIs (notable libudev ones) were
already used with the high-level macros at some places and with the
generic _cleanup_ macro at others. With this patch we hence unify on the
latter.
log.h really should only include the bare minimum of other headers, as
it is really pulled into pretty much everything else and already in
itself one of the most basic pieces of code we have.
Let's hence drop inclusion of:
1. sd-id128.h because it's entirely unneeded in current log.h
2. errno.h, dito.
3. sys/signalfd.h which we can replace by a simple struct forward
declaration
4. process-util.h which was needed for getpid_cached() which we now hide
in a funciton log_emergency_level() instead, which nicely abstracts
the details away.
5. sys/socket.h which was needed for struct iovec, but a simple struct
forward declaration suffices for that too.
Ultimately this actually makes our source tree larger (since users of
the functionality above must now include it themselves, log.h won't do
that for them), but I think it helps to untangle our web of includes a
tiny bit.
(Background: I'd like to isolate the generic bits of src/basic/ enough
so that we can do a git submodule import into casync for it)
This adds missing options, mainly '--version' in getopt(), removes
an unused option from getopt().
Also, this adds a deprecate message in `udevadm hwdb`, and cleanups
help messages.
Follow-up for 65eb4378c3.
This patch removes includes that are not used. The removals were found with
include-what-you-use which checks if any of the symbols from a header is
in use.
