libxfce4util breaks basedir spec

Description
Currently in the book, libxfce4util is not configured with --sysconfdir=/etc. This causes a problem because if the user has set XDG_CONFIG_DIRS to anything besides /etc/xdg, XFCE will not be able to find the menu configuration there. If it's configured with --sysconfdir=/etc, it will hardcode a fallback path to /etc/xdg. As it is now, the fallback path is /usr/etc/xdg, which is empty.
A more general discussion of problems in the book with the Base Directory Spec can be found in #2172. This ticket just deals with the particular case in XFCE.

Attached a patch which adds --sysconfdir=/etc to libxfce4util. To accommodate, I merged the sections of configuring commands together and add a Command Explanation noting which packages it's needed for. Did likewise with the second set of packages and --libexecdir=/usr/lib/xfce4 for consistency. OK to commit (I'm not sure about the formatting, etc.)?

Luca confirmed that this does fix xfce.
