Olivier Fourdan 7883646a8f build: Allow for custom server config directory
Most X servers, even those which do not have specific configuration
files, can use the directory specified by SERVER_MISC_CONFIG_PATH when
they have either the XSECURITY or XSELINUX extensions enabled, or when
support for DTRACE is enabled at build time, because this is also where
the "protocol.txt" file is searched for at runtime.

Unfortunately, the SERVER_MISC_CONFIG_PATH is set from serverconfigdir
which is hardcoded in the build system to "$prefix/$libdir/xorg", and
all X server builds share the same path.

That makes it harder for different X servers such as Xwayland to install
in the same path without sharing the same server configuration path
(and hence the same "protocol.txt" file).

Allow for the customization of server configuration path from the build
options so that different X servers can use completely different and
independent paths.

X Server

The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.

Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.

For a comprehensive overview of X Server and X Window System, consult the following article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_server
