#14393: finddir returns non-existing B_USER_ADDONS_DIRECTORY

 {{{
 /> finddir B_USER_ADDONS_DIRECTORY
 /boot/home/config/add-ons
 }}}

 ''/boot/home/config/add-ons'' does not exist. The only existing ''user's
 add-ons'' that actually works (Tracker finds add-ons there) is
 ''/boot/home/config/non-packaged/add-ons/''.

 I'm guessing that the old, BeOS path should be supported for compatibility
 (at least in R1), so maybe the easiest way would be to create symlink from
 ''/boot/home/config/add-ons'' to ''/boot/home/config/non-packaged/add-
 ons''?

 Or maybe both should be existing and supported by Tracker (and other tools
 and apps)?
