Add support for loading udev at run-time

QtSerialPort is linked against udev by default if the development files can be
detected on the system. The reason for this is that, it is more common to link
against udev than loading it at run-time. People will usually use distribution
packages where there cannot be inconsistency between different versions, and
hence ABI breaks, etc.

The relevant LINK_LIBUDEV variable will be set. This can be overridden by
defining LOAD_LIBUDEV for qmake:

    qmake "DEFINES += LOAD_LIBUDEV" -r

It is also worth noting that the common code is separated into a private header,
and it can be included for either type of libudev usage. There is no need
for its user to handle the compile-time linking or run-time loading separately
on top of that.
