[PATCH xserver] check for elevated privileges not uid=0

[Antoine Martin]

This allows us to run the server as a normal user whilst still
being able to use the -modulepath, -logfile and -config switches
We define a xf86PrivsElevated which will do the checks and cache
the result in case it is called more than once.
Also renamed the paths #defines to match their new meaning.

Changes from the previous version of this patch:
* static var location (again!), formatting, typos, error message, exit() 
(thx to Tormod Volden)
* use more generic AC_CHECK_FUNCS macro (thx to Alan Coopersmith)

Thanks
Antoine
