#2388: fall back to ~/.lircrc if ~/.mythtv/lircrc doesn't exist

Hi,
MythTV expects the lirc config file in ~/.mythtv/lircrc. All other
clients I know of use ~/.lircrc.
There exists a useful daemon called lircrcd that syncs the current lirc
mode between clients. Otherwise it can happen that simulatous running
clients are in inconsistent modes.
The lircrcd creates a socket to communicate with the other lircrcds.
The name of the socket is the name of the config file, with a 'd'
appended. So other clients will use ~/.lircrcd as the socket name, but
MythTV will use ~/.mythtv/lircrcd, so the lircrcd for MythTV can not
communicate with the other daemons.
I tried to fix this my creating a symlink from ~/.mythtv/lircrcd to
~/.lircrcd to make sure that the lircrcd always uses the same socket, but
sometimes the symlink disappears and the socket in ~/.mythtv/ will be
created again. In this case I have to remove it and re-create the symlink.
I think this is not really a solution.
Attached is a patch that checks if ~/.mythtv/lircrc exists. If it does, it
will be used. If not, ~/.lircrc will be used.
This enables users to benefit from lircrcd, but won't change the existing
behaviour for users with a ~/.mythtv/lircrc file.
Regards,
Tino
