This fixes an old bug which caused the "unused" warnings to be
unreliable; only the first block in the list was marked as being
"used", no matter if it was really used, and the rest was never marked
as "used", suppressing all warnings for them.

Fixes assertion failure.

Allows other objects to use the same single instance as well.

To get udisks2 support started, this commit contains the configure.ac
option and a "neighbor" plugin which shows block devices.  Later, this
will allow mounting removable media with a new storage plugin.

We can do CURL requests asynchronously, and we don't need a
synchronous WorkQueue thread for that.

This allows parallelizing lookups and allows immediate cancellation.

We can remove those C++11 and C++14 kludges because we require GCC 4.9
now.

This eliminates some overhead, because the compiler doesn't need to
consider these functions throwing.
