[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 17/18] loader: Look for any version of currently linked libudev.so

Since there was an ABI break and linking twice against libudev.so.0 and
libudev.so.1 causes the application to quickly crash, we first check if
the application is currently linked against libudev before dlopening a
local handle. However for backwards/forwards compatability, we need to
inspect the application for current linkage against all known versions
first.
