There are some situations where running "udevadm settle" can result in
a deadlock, such as in the early stages of initial RAM-disk processing.
Introduce a new command-line option --no-settle that can be used to
suppress calling "udevadm settle" to allow chzdev to be run in such
situations.

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.

Apply some changes to existing functions and data structures to simplify
the firmware configuration file support implementation.
- Make qeth and dasd subtype objects non-static
- Change the existing helper functions for reading file contents into
memory to also support binary functions
- Move some configuration file import functions to make them available
for use in other source files

The zdev tools use a hard-coded path to locate the vmcp binary. Since
this path may differ between distributions, the vmcp binary may not be
successfully located in all cases. Fix this by using the BINDIR macro
to determine the correct path. This macro is also used during
installation of the vmcp binary itself.
