cover udev-extraconf:fix rootless X write to usb storage failed

The following need to be discussed:
1, Is it proper to change the group of storage dir to `disk', and grant
it with w/r/x permissions?

2, Is it proper to add xuser to group `disk', is there a security issue?

The following changes since commit 95b71d2b03a3a6dc5d32a7d6a84ec3420f39aa61:

routerstationpro: strip the output kernel of .comment section (2013-04-11 09:03:21 +0100)

PATCH 2/3 connman.inc: Add xuser to disk group

In reply to Hongxu Jia

1, Add xuser to disk group, so it could have permissions to access disk storage.

2, When fix [YOCTO #4164] xserver-nodm-init: Add xuser to input group, it missed to sync with this file.

PATCH 3/3 udev-extraconf:fix rootless X write to usb storage failed

In reply to Hongxu Jia

Rootless X is owned by xuser, the problem is xuser doesn't have permissions to write usb storage when the type of filesystem is not one of ext2/3/4 or btrfs.
...
mount
/dev/sdb1 on /media/sdb1 type ext4
/dev/sdb2 on /media/sdb2 type vfat
/dev/sdb3 on /media/sdb3 type ntfs
/dev/sdb4 on /media/sdb4 type btrfs
/dev/sdb2 on /media/sdb5 type jfs
/dev/sdb1 on /media/sdb6 type xfs
...
ls /media/ -al

drwx------    3 xuser    xuser         1024 Apr 10 09:08 sdb1
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         16384 Jan  1  1970 sdb2
drwx------    1 root     root          4096 Apr 10 09:12 sdb3

drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root           256 Apr 10 09:39 sdb6

...

The usb storage is mounted to dir /media/sd**' by a udev's mount.sh script, Modify the script to change the group owner of dir to disk', and grant w/r/x permissions to it, so the one (such as xuser) in the disk group could access the storage.

There are two solutions to do according to the type of USB's filesystem. 1, For vfat, fat, ntfs, add mount option gid' and umask'. 2, For others, invoke chgrp and chmod after mount.
