systemd: do not enable udev-settle.service by default
This barrier service is usually not enabled by default. If enabled, it acts as a barrier for basic.target -- so all later services will wait for udev completely finishing its coldplug run. It might be enabled just unconditionally, or pulled-in on-demand by broken or non-hotplug-aware services that assume a fully populated /dev at startup.

The command 'udevadm info --convert-db' is gone. The udev daemon
itself, at startup, converts any old database version if necessary.
+The systemd services files have been reorganized. The udev control

The fstab_import callout is no longer built or installed. Udev
should not be used to mount, does not watch changes to fstab, and
should not mirror fstab values in the udev database.
