Fix implicit DeviceMapper selection

Browse source 
DeviceMapper must be explicitly selected because the Docker binary might not be linked to the right devmapper library.

With this change, Docker fails fast if the driver detection finds the devicemapper directory but the driver is not the default option.
The option `override_udev_sync_check` doesn't make sense anymore, since the user must be explicit to select devicemapper, so it's being removed.
Docker fails to use devicemapper only if Docker has been built statically unless the option was explicit.

#### dm.override_udev_sync_check
By default, the devicemapper backend attempts to synchronize with the
`udev` device manager for the Linux kernel. This option allows
disabling that synchronization, to continue even though the
configuration may be buggy.
To view the `udev` sync support of a Docker daemon that is using the
`devicemapper` driver, run:
$ docker info
[...]
Udev Sync Supported: true
[...]
When `udev` sync support is `true`, then `devicemapper` and `udev` can
coordinate the activation and deactivation of devices for containers.
When `udev` sync support is `false`, a race condition occurs between
the`devicemapper` and `udev` during create and cleanup. The race
condition results in errors and failures. (For information on these
failures, see
[docker#4036](https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/4036))
To allow the `docker` daemon to start, regardless of whether `udev` sync is
`false`, set `dm.override_udev_sync_check` to true:
$ docker -d --storage-opt dm.override_udev_sync_check=true
When this value is `true`, the driver continues and simply warns you
the errors are happening.
**Note**: The ideal is to pursue a `docker` daemon and environment
that does support synchronizing with `udev`. For further discussion on
this topic, see
[docker#4036](https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/4036).
Otherwise, set this flag for migrating existing Docker daemons to a
daemon with a supported environment.
