[vdr] lirc-0.8.6 moved socket to /var/run/lirc/lircd

Hi list!

lirc starting from version 0.8.6, does use the socket /var/run/lirc/lircd 
instead of /dev/lircd, so all apps not using liblirc_client need to be 
changed. Else IR will not work in VDR.

There are two possibilities:
1. Shell code to check which of the two sockets do exist and adding relevant 
command-line-parameter to vdr (--lirc=/var/run/lirc/lircd).
2. Patching VDR to check both pathes and using the existing one.

Regards
Matthias
