commit 1ebae6d4f27ff0d336f2df0b8821099d2b2e510e

     Added support to optionally use WAYLAND_CLIENT_SERVER_SOCKET_DIR 
instead of XDG_DIR.

     WAYLAND_CLIENT_SERVER_SOCKET_DIR should not to be confused with 
WAYLAND_SERVER_SOCKET_DIR.
     WAYLAND_CLIENT_SERVER_SOCKET_DIR is used by wayland client 
applications to connect
     to a server socket which is located on a different path.
     By using two different env vars it makes possible to specify a 
different directory
     for the nested server socked in case of nested compositors.
