Feature: Consider loading broker config files from /usr/{share,lib}/authd/brokers.d/

[3v1n0]

Is there an existing request for this feature?

• I have searched the existing issues and found none that matched mine

Describe the feature

/etc is a very special thing in debian-based systems and storing files there implies that those may not be removed on package removal unless purge is done.

This may be a problem in authd because we still list the broker as installed even though it's not there anymore.

Describe the ideal solution

While authd maybe could do some better sanity check on available brokers in the bus, it's probably better to use other paths such as /usr/lib or /usr/share as the place where we look for the brokers.d folder to prevent being broken or not-well-working because of leftovers of configuration files.
