On the LIRC package, the default config file does not include its .conf.d directory

[IvanVeloz]

On the LIRC package, located at https://github.com/openembedded/meta-openembedded/tree/master/meta-oe/dynamic-layers/meta-python/recipes-connectivity/lirc
the default config file lircd.conf seems to be customized to somebody's application, and does not include the lirc.conf.d directory.

This is a problem because if you want to customize your configuration, you need to replace the lircd.conf instead of just adding your configuration to lirc.conf.d/mycustomconfig.conf.

It may also conflict with any remotes the developer needs to add, by default in a hard to predict way.

Normally, lircd tries to sort multiple remotes so the one which decodes fastest are used first. Setting manual_sort to 1 in any remote disables this and uses the remotes in the order they are listed in lircd.conf or as the alphanumerically sorted filenames in lircd.conf.d.

This is the config file:
https://github.com/openembedded/meta-openembedded/blob/master/meta-oe/dynamic-layers/meta-python/recipes-connectivity/lirc/lirc/lircd.conf

For reference, the upstream file is just one line: include "lircd.conf.d/*.conf".

The solution depends on the project's priority:

• To not break backwards compatibility, the solution is adding the include line is added at the top of the file.
• To avoid potentially conflicting with custom remotes, the solution is changing the file completely for the upstream version.
