Configuration file /etc/savannah/local.inc.pl

We need to have a define default location (or eventually several): it would be weird to add an another configuration file to get where is the configuration file. For the web interface, it's in httpd.conf.

For now, it's a lot easier to force usage of something like /etc/savannah/local.inc.pl (creating a symlink is no big deal - and it already required to be root to install Savannah for other reasons).

Note that no frontend/backend non-managed by apached really need to read the companion site configuration, as companions sites share the database, which matters here.
