Bug#571607: xdm: Please provide a Xreset hook using a common framework

In btw report #230422, I outline the need for a hook into the Xreset
phase of the display manager.  Please implement support for it in xdm,
to make it possible to run scripts when users log out from a xdm
session.

This patch implement it, by looking for a script /etc/X11/Xreset and
running it if it exist.  It will hopefully be provided by x11-common
when #230422 is fixed.  This bug should be blocked by bug #230422.
