Euphoria Ticket #676: locate_file() directory search order

On UNIX platorms, filesys:locate_file() looks in the installed directories before looking for a EUDIR or EUDIST value. This means that the user can never override the system settings. In particular, this causes problems for having different versions (e.g., 4.0, 4.1) on the same machine.
