The _really_ simple patch

The udev rules should be installed to $(libdir) instead of of $(sysconfdir).

This is upstream udev policy and most packages follow it.
If a user wants to make a change to a file, he should copy it to /etc/udev….
This also ensures that his changes don't get overwritten by package updates.

That way /etc/udev only contains user configuration that won't be overwritten.

Very simple patch attached.

    Move udev rules to libdir
    
    This moves the dir from /etc/udev/rules.d to /lib/udev/rules.d,
    which is encouraged by upstream, as /etc is for user overrides only
