[PATCH 1/2] node_device_udev: handle move events

It is possible and common to rename some devices, this is especially true for ethernet devices such as veth pairs. In the udevEventHandleThread() we will be notified of this change but currently we only process "add", "change" and "remove" events. Renaming a device such as above results in a "move" event, not a "remove" followed by and "add" or vise versa. This change will add the new/destination device to our records but unfortunately there is no usable mechanism to identify the old/source device to remove it from the records. So this is admittedly only a partial fix.
