Dewey Garrett 8b44ccfa6a hallib: support for system-wide halfiles
1) HALLIB_DIR: new directory for system-wide hal files (*.hal,*.tcl and
   supporting files).
   Locations:
             RIP: HALLIB = lib/hallib/
             DEB: HALLIB = /usr/share/linuxcnc/hallib/

2) HALLIB_PATH: search path for locating halfiles:
   HALLIB_PATH = .:HALLIB_DIR (e.g., ini directory then system library)

3) LIB: prefix to explicitly specify a system library halfile (with
   no search of the ini file directory)
   [HAL]
   ...
   HALFILE = LIB:filename.[hal|tcl]
   ...

This patch addresses a general issue of the multiple copies (or links) of
halfiles throughout the config tree and makes it simple to explicitly specify a
library halfile so that a user does not need to copy these files when modifying
a configuration.  For example, one can instruct a user with:
   'Include the line HALFILE = LIB:xhc-hb04.tcl in the [HAL] stanza of
    your ini file'

# Example shell usage to populate environment in a sourced script:
# for line in $(linuxcnc_var all) ; do
# name=${line%%=*}
# value=${line##*=}
# echo "name=$name value=$value"
# export "$name"="$value"
# done
# Example tcl usage:
# foreach line [exec linuxcnc_var all] {
# set l [split $line =]
# set name [lindex $l 0]
# set value [lindex $l 1]
# set V($name) $value
# }
# parray V
# Example python usage:
# import subprocess
# s = subprocess.Popen(['linuxcnc_var','all']
# ,stdout=subprocess.PIPE
# ,stderr=subprocess.PIPE
# p,e = s.communicate()
# v={}
# for line in p.split('\n'):
# if line == '': continue
# name = line.split('=')[0]
# value = line.split('=')[1]
# v[name] = value
# print(v)
