config-parser: Honor XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
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.
