[PATCH setxkbmap] Few messages added for easier troubleshooting.

If setxkbmap fails to load rules file, it is not possible to find
out where setxkbmap looks for it. Increasing verbosity level does
not help:

    $ ./setxkbmap -v 10
    Setting verbose level to 10
    locale is C
    Couldn't find rules file (evdev)

The problem fixed by adding two messages: before loading file and
after successful loading. Messages are displayed if verbosity level
is 8 or higher:

    $ ./setxkbmap -v 10
    Setting verbose level to 10
    locale is C
    Trying to load rules file ./rules/evdev...
    Trying to load rules file /usr/local/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev...
    Couldn't find rules file (evdev)
