Use a new "Virtual Device" boolean property to mark virtual devices

Use udev to check for the device's sysfs path, if it contains LNXSYSTM it's
a kernel-emulated device. This property can then be used to determine if
there are any real devices connected, allowing the desktop environment to
e.g. turn off the touchpad whenever there's a mouse attached.
