Patch to change installation of ssh_config and sshd_config

The NetBSD packages system "forbids" packages from installing stuff outside
of the package tree (typically "/usr/pkg"). OpenSSH installs ssh*_config
into $sysconfdir by default, which violates that rule. Christos Zoulas
reworked Makefile.in to seperate the install from sysconfdir, and I added
some logic to configure.in to add --with-example-dir.

NetBSD's package would install this by default in
$prefix/share/examples/openssh rather than $sysconfdir. I personally like
that approach, but I don't know if it'd be appropriate for the base install
to take that approach.

Thanks,
David
