Firejail: Allow running even when global config file is missing
I'd like https://github.com/itchio/itch to ship its own firejail binary, and the only thing preventing me from doing so right now seems to be that firejail refuses to start if /usr/local/etc/firejail/firejail.config doesn't exist.
It's probably easy to patch from my side, but if upstream supported it, that would be even better!

The current behavior is:
fprintf(stderr, "Warning: Firejail configuration file %s not found\n", fname);
exit(1)
That's one hell of a warning!

I added support to disable firejail.config enforcing at compile time. Configure the software as follows:
$ ./configure --disable-globalcfg
At runtime, if firejail.config is not present in the filesystem, firejail will use the defaults. Let me know if you need anything else.

That's exactly what I was looking for, thanks a lot for the change!

(Actually, having a tag that includes this commit would be great, if cutting a release isn't too much work for you!)

All set, use disable-globalcfg tag.
