The engine covers most of the udev grammar but not all of it, and the
gaps are invisible until a rule silently does nothing. Write down what
is implemented and where it parts ways with udev(7), rather than
leaving people to infer it from a ruleset that happens to work. The
man page gets the directory precedence and a pointer to udev(7) and
the User's Guide, which hold the details.
Rename the menu entry to Device Manager while here, matching how the
watchdog daemon is listed.

Half the daemon was missing: -p, -r, -S, -t from SYNOPSIS and
OPTIONS, class/ and driver/ conditions, SIGHUP rules reload, the
rules engine and its directories, /run/udev/data, and the D-Bus
socket in FILES.

The udev parity gaps that were blocked on IPC -- settle, trigger,
info, queue introspection, runtime rule reload -- become bus methods.
keventd serves its own socket the way Finit serves /run/finit/bus:
brokerless, libink, one socket per daemon, no forwarding between the
two.
Settle(u) -> b parked until the queue drains or the timeout
passes; true when settled
Trigger(s, s) replay events, action + subsystem glob
Info(s) -> a{ss} /run/udev/data properties for a devpath
RulesReload() -> u re-read rules dirs, returns rule count
QueueEmpty (b), SeqnumProcessed (t) properties
DeviceProcessed (ss) signal after each fully handled event
The queue state is the highest kernel seqnum keventd has handled,
baselined at startup, against /sys/kernel/uevent_seqnum. keventd -S
now asks the running daemon first and falls back to seqnum polling.
In passive mode Trigger and RulesReload refuse. Adds
link_call_connection() for the park bookkeeping.
