[PATCH 4/5] xfree86: Search for a system xorg.conf.d

In addition to the conf files found in /etc/X11 or $sysconfdir/X11 used
for local administration, we also reserve a system directory for vendor
and package usage. The simple search path is:

	/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d
	$datadir/X11/xorg.conf.d

Files from these directories will have the lowest config priority.
