i think we have PKG_SYSCONFDIR and converting all packages to this
framework for a reason and making such an unnecessary diversity is
harmful.  those who want cdrecord.conf in /etc/default/cdrecord can set
PKG_SYSCONFDIR.cdrecord to /etc/default/cdrecord in their /etc/mk.conf.

CDRECORD_CONF is superfluous, please back out this change and fix
cdrecord to directly use PKG_SYSCONFDIR.  thanks.
