Allow /usr/local/share/gtksourceview-3.0/styles to be used for themes #609

 * Xed version (xed --version) 3.4.2
 * Distribution - (Mint 17.2, Arch, Fedora 25, etc...) Fedora Silverblue 39

Issue Immutable OS like Fedora will have an read-only image as OS, meaning /usr/local/ cannot be modified by user or root. Xed Text Editor themes files cannot be placed in /usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/styles.

Steps to reproduce OS limitation.

Expected behaviour Feature request: besides looking in the /usr/share folder, also check /usr/local/share: /usr/local/share/gtksourceview-3.0/styles.

Other information Alternative user-only location works $HOME/.local/share/xed/styles but does not allow for global installation of themes.

xed uses gtksourceview-4 only, adding styles to /usr/local/share/gtksourceview-4/styles/ works ok here.
