Axel Davy 7ab925a6aa loader: add gpu selection code via DRI_PRIME.
v2: Fix the leak of device_name
v3: Rebased

It enables to use the DRI_PRIME env var to specify
which gpu to use.
Two syntax are supported:
If DRI_PRIME is 1 it means: take any other gpu than the default one.
If DRI_PRIME is the ID_PATH_TAG of a device: choose this device if
possible.

The ID_PATH_TAG is a tag filled by udev.
You can check it with 'udevadm info' on the device node.
For example it can be "pci-0000_01_00_0".

Render-nodes need to be enabled to choose another gpu,
and they need to have the ID_PATH_TAG advertised.
It is possible for not very recent udev that the tag
is not advertised for render-nodes, then
ones need to add a file containing:

SUBSYSTEM=="drm", IMPORT{builtin}="path_id"

in /etc/udev/rules.d/
