Installation of UDisks

Fix a build issue with glibc-2.24: 

sed 's@#include <stdio\.h>@#include <sys/stat.h>\n#include <stdio.h>@' \
    -i src/helpers/job-drive-detach.c

Install UDisks by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=/usr        \
            --sysconfdir=/etc    \

make

To test the results, issue: make check.

Now, as the root user: 

make profiledir=/etc/bash_completion.d install
