    - New udev control logic imported from make-initrd scripts.
    - Udev-trigger replaced to udev-settle() in hardware wait loops.
    - All udev control code moved from init.c to new udev.c module.
    - Lazy initialization mode support added for work in cooperate
      with make-initrd: this is experimental future, turned off by
      default, and also required patched make-initrd-propagator.
    - disk.c, cdrom.c: 15 attempts with udev-settle() calls.
    - network.c: bridge up algorithm reviewed, fixed memory leaks.
    - network.c: 15 attempts to select and wait network interface;
    - probing.c, probing.h, dhcp.c: small fixes, now black list used.
    - modules_descr.h, stage1.c: deprecated header, unused code removed.
    - dhcp.c: fix potentially destructive typo (closes: #34322),
      thanks to Arseny Maslennikov <arseny@altlinux.org>.
    - Workaround race conditions during disks detection (closes: #30315).
    - Workaround race conditions during bridging up network interfaces,
      see: https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34347 and
      https://lists.altlinux.org/pipermail/sysadmins/2018-April/date.html
      (about "No network Devices found" error message).
    - Multiple small code improvements, fixes for avoid memory leaks
      and suppress compiler warnings.
