That doesn't change things for end users as it will be
optional, like most of Hatari's current dependencies [1].

The options how Uwe will add the media detection are:
1. Don't build NF scsidrv support if libudev is missing, or
2. Disable just media change detection if libudev is missing

Either is fine with me, but 2) would be nicer for the users.

Additional dependencies, whether they're optional or not,
need to be documented in readme.txt.
