catalogue fontpath

Hi,

 I would like to add a "catalogue" directory as one of the default
 fontpaths for xorg-server.  A symlink in the directory is
 automatically recognized as a fontpath.

 It makes ports which install a new fontset possible to create a new
 entry there automatically.  This means that the end users do not need
 to manually configure FontPath in xorg.conf or use "xset fp".  Note
 that this affects only the legacy XLFD-based font management, not
 newer systems such as fontconfig.

 I believe this does not break backward compatibility because the
 patch will add it at the tail of the fontpath list.
