Remove support for old volatile udev rules below /dev/.udev

Udev stopped supporting volatile udev rules in /dev/.udev/rules.d in
udev 176, released 2012-01-11 [1].  The oldest supported distributions
use much more recent combined systemd and udev releases.

    Distro            EOL        udevadm -V
    Debian 9          2022-Jun   232
    RHEL / CentOS 7   2024-Jun   219
    Ubuntu 18.04 LTS  2023-Apr   237

Now udev only reads volatile rules from /run/udev/ruled.d [2].  Simplify
the code a little.

    "A writable /run directory (ususally tmpfs) is required now for a
    fully functional udev, there is no longer a fallback to /dev/.udev."

    "RULES FILES
    The udev rules are read from the files located in the system rules
    directory /usr/lib/udev/rules.d, the volatile runtime directory
    /run/udev/rules.d and the local administration directory
    /etc/udev/rules.d."
