[BRLTTY] Support for configuration in /usr/lib/brltty?

Hi,

brltty already supports overriding files in /etc/brltty via files in 
~/.config/brltty and XDG_CONFIG_DIRS.

Would it be possible to extend the code to support the so called 
"stateless" configuration paradigm, i.e. reading the default 
configuration files from /usr/lib/brltty while allowing overriding them 
in /etc/brltty (and in ~/.config/brltty and so on)?

The stateless configuration pattern simplifies the update of packages in 
Linux distros and gives system administrators a way to define local 
configuration without changing any distro-provided files.

Regards,
