Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri e793f1eae9 kmod-modprobe: implement softdeps.
Implement soft dependencies in a way similar to module-init-tools
modprobe. Unlike regular dependencies they are allowed to fail
inserting or removing.

The rmmod version walks the lists in reverse order, also doing post
before and pre later.

Features:
=========
* config: configs that do not need to be matched by fnmatch() could be using a
vector instead of a list. This way we could search in it by calling
bsearch().
* index: drop the "open(), seek(), read()" implementation and use another one
with mmap(). When lookup() is called and the file is not mmaped, mmap it.
* create test-mock library to be LD_PRELOAD'ed before running the binaries
so we're able to create unit tests
* provide ELF manipulation to implement modinfo
* Add functions to dump configuration
* Add functions list all modules known by modules.dep
* provide 1:1 compatibility with module-init-tools's modprobe
- show modversions (needs elf manipulation)
- dump configuration
- install and remove commands may exist when there's no module with that
name. Properly handle this case
Known Bugs:
===========
Notes for future development:
=============================
* Kill support for /etc/modprobe.conf
* Kill support for map files
Things to be added removed in kernel (check what is really needed):
===================================================================
* list of currently loaded modules
* module's size should be available under /sys
* kill /proc/modules ?
