Make IWAD search paths compliant with XDG spec.

The XDG Base Directory Specification defines standard directories
that are searched for data files via the XDG_DATA_HOME and
XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variables:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html

To make Chocolate Doom a good citizen, use these directories to
determine some of the locations in which to look for IWAD files. This
includes /usr/share/games/doom, which is absorbed under the default
value of the XDG_DATA_DIRS variable. We also now support the alternative
~/.local/share/games/doom as a user-writeable path in the user's home
directory that doesn't require root privileges.

This is part of #597 (thanks to @chungy for the suggestion).
