config: add an option to name the sysroot directory
Depending on local policies, some users have expressed a need to
have the sysroot be named differently than the hard-coded name.
Add an option for that.
Default to 'sysroot' to match the existing literature.
While at it, replace 'sys-root' with 'sysroot' everywhere we
reference the sysroot.

7 The gethostbyname4() lookup method is problematic since it fires out both
8 the A and AAAA DNS queries in parallel and over the same socket. This
9 should work in theory, but it turns out that many cheap DSL modems and
10 similar devices have buggy DNS servers - if the AAAA query arrives too
11 quickly after the A query, the server will generate only a single reply
12 with the A query id but returning an error for the AAAA query; we get
13 stuck waiting for the second reply.
15 For gethostbyname4() users affected, disabling IPv6 in the system might
16 work around the issue, unfortunately it only helps with applications
17 using AI_ADDRCONFIG (e.g. Firefox); some (notably e.g. Pidgin) neglect
20 Real fix should be using separate ports for the A and AAAA queries.
