This adds some code to hanlde /dev/block/* and /dev/char/* device node
paths specially: instead of actually stat()ing them we'll just parse the
major/minor name from the name. This is useful 'hack' to allow clients
to install whitelists for devices that don't actually have to exist.
Also, let's similarly handle /run/systemd/inaccessible/{blk|chr}. This
allows us to simplify our built-in default whitelist to not require a
"ignore_enoent" mode for these nodes.
In general we should be careful with hardcoding major/minor numbers, but
in this case this should safe.
