Renamed from DEV_MAP_PATH to DEV_MAPPER_PATH. Moved so that the
constant is logically intended for use outside of the DMRaid class.
Also specifically make the string constant have external linkage, rather
than the default internal (static) linkage for constants, so that there
is only one copy of the variable in the program, rather than one copy in
each compilation unit which included DMRaid.h. Namely DMRaid.cc and
GParted_Core.cc.

Include guards need to be unique within GParted code and all included
library header files.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Include_guard#Difficulties
Use this model for all include guards:
#ifndef GPARTED_FILE_NAME_H
#define GPARTED_FILE_NAME_H
...
#endif /* GPARTED_FILE_NAME_H */
Closes Bug #539297 - Make include guards unique
Usage of the kpartx package to create partition names has been
completely removed. Hence kpartx is no longer even an optionally used
package by gparted.
This change is related to the following bug report:
Ubuntu launchpad bug 719129 - [Natty] Gparted duplicates dmraid
partition devices
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/719129
Newer versions (dmraid-1.0.0-rc16?) of dmraid default to always
creating partition names by inserting the letter 'p' between the
device name and the partition number. Since this is not
consistent with older versions of dmraid, add extra logic to
ensure that newer versions of dmraid do not insert this extra
letter 'p'.
Rename method get_udev_name to get_udev_dm_name and enhance to
retrieve the property DM_NAME.
Handle situation where parted, and hence libparted, has been
configured with --disable-device-mapper. In this situation on
some distros the device name could be /dev/dm-0. This results in
invalid partition names such as /dev/dm-0p1. Add logic to decode
the actual /dev/mapper name.
It appears that different dmraid versions handle specifying a
single dmraid device differently.
dmraid-1.0.0.rc14 uses a partial name only,
such as "isw" or "isw_cjbdddajhi".
dmriad-1.0.0.rc15 uses a full name only,
such as "isw_cjbdddajhi_Vol0".
To maintain compatibility with the broadest range of dmraid versions,
the ability to specify a single dmraid device is being removed.
Some distros appear to display /dev/dm-# device names with
libparted. Since this fails a pattern match with the dmraid
device name, check with udev to see if a pattern match is
possible with the name returned from udevinfo or udevadm info.
For example:
/dev/mapper/isw_cjbdddajhi_Vol0 is the device name
/dev/dm-0 is a symbolic link pointing to the above device name
