Add a command line option to specify a file to be read instead of
weston.ini.
IVI-shell testing will at least temporarily need to specify a config
file, because it cannot run without. That is why this is being added,
but should be convenient for everybody, too.

We have the Weston command line option '--no-config' which is meant to
prevent loading weston.ini at all. It works for Weston itself, but it
does not work for any clients that also want to read weston.ini.
To fix that, introduce a new environment variable WESTON_CONFIG_FILE.
Weston will set it to the absolute path of the config file it loads.
Clients will load the config file pointed to by WESTON_CONFIG_FILE. If
the environment variable is set but empty, no config file will be
loaded. If the variable is unset, things fall back to the default
"weston.ini".
Note, that Weston will only set WESTON_CONFIG_FILE, it never reads it.
The ability to specify a custom config file to load will be another patch.
All programs that loaded "weston.ini" are modified to honour
WESTON_CONFIG_FILE.

Useful for unit tests. If Weston finds a weston.ini during unit tests,
it will load it and all the modules it asks for. We need a way to
prevent loading arbitrary modules from the command line.

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.
