* INSTALL: Added to install default global mpd.conf

We need to establish some kind of policy around this. We just had a long
bug discussion (http://bugs.sourcemage.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10486) that
ended up with "if upstream doesn't install it during 'make install', we
should ask before installing it and default to 'n'".

However, there are some obvious differences between a sample config that
_changes_ default behavior in a user app and a config file for a daemon
that needs some kind of config to operate. Is that where we want to draw
the line? We should establish what it is so spells can adhere to it and
users can get a consistent experience from spells.

mpd won't run without some /etc/mpd.conf or ~/.mpdconf and no example
is installed at all, so I had no idea where to start in making a
~/.mpdconf. So I'd go with the second rule: Install config files only
if the package needs them to run or they explicitly set the defaults
and if the default install doesn't install it then it's an upstream
bug.
