On FreeBSD Compose files are stored in different place than on Linux
distributions, this patch adds new search paths.

Needed to run the XKB extension where we used to expect X11 to be
installed in /usr. In FreeBSD, for instance, X11 is installed in
/usr/local like all the other not out-of-the-box packages.
Same thing goes for the compose platform input context plugin.

It makes more sense to keep this workaround header together with the other
libxkbcommon files for a better access point since it's used by several *.pro
files.

libxkbcommon is a keymap compiler [1] which utilizes xkb
keyboard configuration database [2].
xkbcommon simplifies keyboard state handling by providing xkb_state
object which holds the current state of all modifiers, groups, LEDs,
etc, relating to the provided keymap.
Detecting modifier mapping should become simpler once it gets supported
in libxkbcommon. Also with xinput2 we could get rid of the XkbStateNotify
events, because xinput2 key press/release already include all the mod/group
info.

This library is required by the XCB platform plugin. As we depend on
very recent version of this library and it might not be available
in base repositories of distributions, users can use -qt-xkbcommom
switch to build Qt with the bundled version.

When switching from Xlib to xcb platform plugin it was agreed that
XIM is deprecated. Users should be using QT_IM_MODULE to load input context
plugin for a more advance input method framework support.
The proposed solution is to parse the compose file directly from Qt. This
approach removes the overhead of communication protocols used in Xlib and/or IBUS.
TableGenerator class follows [1].
The compose file is searched for in the following order:
1) If the environment variable $XCOMPOSEFILE is set,
its value is used as the name of the Compose file.
2) If the user’s home directory has a file named
.XCompose, it is used as the Compose file.
3) The system provided compose file is used by mapping the
locale to a compose file from the list in
/usr/share/X11/locale/compose.dir.
Regarding step 3 - TableGenerator searches in hard-coded locations for
system-provided compose files. Here I have introcuded a new environment
variable QTCOMPOSE which can be used to prepend an extra location
to be searched.
