Udisks/Upower replacing HAL

[Scott Kitterman]

Now that KDE Solid provides backends for the more modern udisks/upower systems 
we are replacing hal.  The changes for this will land in Natty just after 
Alpha 1 is released.

Known issues:

No suspend/resume - Fixed already for KDE 4.6 beta 2 [1]

startkde CDROM detection needs porting - This will get done in the next few 
days.  In the mean time it's possible some laptops will be mis-identified as 
netbooks.

Other functions that have been tested all seem to work well.

KDE 4.6 is the first release with upower/udisks support, so there will be 
issues.  These need to be reported upstream so they can get fixed.
