[Bug translator/11455] New: use XDG_DATA_DIRS for tapset path searching

[fche at redhat dot com]

Instead of or in addition to $SYSTEMTAP_TAPSET, this other environment
variable standard exists for searching for data files.  We could use
it for tapsets, so that gnome jhbuild would 'just work' with systemtap
tapsets included in their packages.

<walters> the developer convenience here is that i can just do jhbuild run stap
~/tmp/alive.stp -c gcalctool
<walters> instead of jhbuild run stap -I
/src/build/jhbuild/share/systemtap/tapset/ ~/tmp/alive.stp -c gcalctool
