client-conf, daemon-conf: enable .d directories

I want to enable client.conf.d, because in OpenEmbedded-core we have
a graphical environment called Sato that runs as root. Sato needs to
set allow-autospawn-for-root=true in client.conf, but the default
configuration in OpenEmbedded-core should not set that option. With
this patch, I can create a Sato-specific package that simply installs
50-sato.conf in /etc/pulse/client.conf.d without conflicting with the
main client.conf coming from a different package.

daemon.conf.d is enabled just because it would be strange to not
support it while client.conf.d is supported.
