Antoine Martin ead968a430 xserver: check for elevated privileges not uid=0 
This allows us to run the server as a normal user whilst still
being able to use the -modulepath, -logfile and -config switches
We define a xf86PrivsElevated which will do the checks and cache
the result in case it is called more than once.
Also renamed the paths #defines to match their new meaning.
Original discussion which led to this patch can be found here:
