Awesome can load SVG images, just like it can do PNG, through gdk.
The support for SVG images through GDK needs librvsg.
This commits adds the plumbing necessary in the wrapper that makes
awesome be able to load SVG images.
Without this, awesome will not load SVG images. The related error message is:
> Couldn't recognize the image file format for file
Which comes from gdk.
Contains changes that require updating user configs:
- command `compat' and the various def* compat commands were removed
- `msgwait', `rudeness', `startupmessage', `warp' are now variables

The SYSCONFDIR variable used in the Makefile servers two purposes:
1) During buildPhase, it is hardcoded into the executable as one of
the locations that will be searched for the i3blocks.conf config
file. We want this set to "/etc", so that "/etc/i3blocks.conf"
will be automatically loaded if it exists, as specified in the
manpage.
2) During installPhase, it specifies the location that the sample
i3blocks.conf should be installed to. We want this to be "$out/etc".
Case 2 was already handled correctly, but case 1 was not. This resulted
in i3blocks instead searching for i3blocks.conf in the default value of
SYSCONFDIR, which is "/usr/local/etc", a directory which generally does
not exist on NixOS. This commit remedies this problem by setting
SYSCONFDIR=/etc during buildPhase.
A minor stylistic fix (correcting a usage of "makeFlags" to "buildFlags"
in the expression) has also been applied in this commit.
