patch to add a --disable-udev option to ./configure none

patch to add a --disable-udev option to ./configure

Building an xf86-video-intel binary using a system that has udev installed, but for a target where udev will not be used, is currently difficult and unsupported in configure.ac.

Addition of an AC_ARG_ENABLE to optionally turn off the configure check would make this much simpler.

Please see the provided patch.

    configure: Make udev dependency optional
    
    In order to support buildbots where the udev headers may exist on the
    build system but not the target, we need explicit control over optional
    dependencies.
