[Bug 1736744] [NEW] [patch] support bindresvport.blacklist outside of /etc

[Michael Vogt]

Public bug reported:

For ubuntu core we are working on a cleaner /etc and therefore we would
like to see bindresvport.blacklist reading fallback to an alternative
directory. The attached patch makes glibc search in both /etc and
/usr/share/libc-bin (happy to switch to a different dir if needed).

The attached patch is against a existing debian patch so its a bit hard
to read, I will also attach the updated debian patch for easier review.

** Affects: glibc (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Patch added: "proposed fix"
