The existing sd_hwdb_new function always initializes the hwdb from the first successful hwdb.bin it finds from hwdb_bin_paths. This means there is currently no way to initialize a hwdb from an explicit path, which would be useful for systemd-hwdb query. Add sd_hwdb_new_from_path to allow a sd_hwdb to be initialized from a custom path outside of hwdb_bin_paths.
