Add /etc/xkb as extra lookup path for system data files
This completes the usual triplet of configuration locations available for most
processes:
- vendor-provided data files in /usr/share/X11/xkb
- system-specific data files in /etc/xkb
- user-specific data files in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xkb
The default lookup order user, system, vendor, just like everything else that
uses these conventions.
For include directives in rules files, the '%E' resolves to that path.
