This change adds base infrastructure for implementing internal device
attributes. In the context of the zdev tools, an internal device
attribute is a new type of device attribute with the following
characteristics:
- Can be set and removed like normal device attributes
- Affects zdev-internal handling only
- Does not correspond to an actual device attribute, that is
it has no representation in SysFS
- Can not be set in the active configuration
- Name starts with "zdev:" to prevent conflicts with actual
device attributes
Values for internal device attributes are stored in udev rules alongside
the normal persistent configuration of a device. They are encoded as
udev environment variables. Note that they have no further effect on
udev processing.

Add support for reading firmware-provided I/O configuration data files.
Such configuration files are generated by the Dynamic Partition Manager
and made available via a kernel interface for consumption by Linux.
To read a firmware configuration file, use the existing --import option:
# chzdev --import /sys/firmware/sclp_sd/config/data
This will apply all I/O configuration data found in the specified file
to the persistent configuration.
