Explain where files are saved

For people who manage their home directories with things like vcsh or
other versioning system, it's good to know where configuration files
live.  This CL adds a FILES section to the man page.

+.SH FILES
+Configuration files are searched for in the \fIautorandr
+\fRdirectory in the colon separated list of paths in \fI$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
+\fR- or in \fI/etc/xdg
+\fRif that var is not set.  They are then looked for in \fI~/.autorandr
+\fRand if that doesn't exist, in \fI$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/autorandr
+\fRor in \fI~/.config/autorandr\fR if that var is unset.
+
+In each of those directories it looks for directories with \fIconfig\fR and
+\fIsetup\fR in them.  It is best to manage these files with the
+\fBautorandr\fR utility.
