    it's very tricky to actively test the UI because you can't just inject
    arbitrary SMART data blobs.
    
    this refactor seeks to remedy that by abstracting away the device
    notification from solid and based on that implement a complete
    simulation mode where both the device notifier (the bit enumerating
    solid) and the ctl (the bit doing kauth + smartctl) are replaced by
    mocking instances at runtime. these instances then use the data in the
    fixture pool instead of actually looking at the active hardware on the
    system. this effectively allows us to check how all the various fixtures
    are actually handled by the actual production code.
    
    for convenience more than anything this is on by default when building
    in debug mode. also for convenience the fixtures are rcc'd into the
    binary instead of looked up from disk (also relocatability is of course
    always a concern)
    
    (this actually reveals a problem with the notification tech: it doesn't
    notify on devices that are failing ri...
