This set of changes adds support for searching for a given config file
in the directories listed in $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS if it wasn't found in
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME or ~/.config. This allows packages to install custom
config files in /etc/xdg/weston, for example, thus allowing them to
avoid dealing with home directories.
To avoid a TOCTOU race the config file is actually open()ed during the
search. Its file descriptor is returned and stored in the compositor
for later use when performing subsequent config file parses.

Add some documentation about the DRM backend into its own man page, and
refer to it in weston(1).
Environment variable, that are reserved for backends, and currently used
only by the DRM backend, are moved to weston-drm page.

Instead of hardcoding drm-backend.so as the default if environment
presents neither Wayland nor X11, have a ./configure option to change
it. It still defaults to drm-backend.so, if not given.

We can now load any number of general modules, and the shell and xwayland
are just two of them. We continue to use the mechanism for testing but
custom input drivers or logging mechanisms, for example are other use cases.
