Bug#1068504: mumble-server: wrong path for systemd-sysusers file

[Chris Knadle]

Greetings.

As far as I know /etc/sysconfig.d/ is a directory used by Fedora/Red Hat 
based distros, not Debian.

Looking through the Git log I see I added this on Feb 1 2023 with the 
following commit message:

     add etc/sysconfid./mumble-server.conf as the build breaks without 
it at compat 13
     (it's commit f0cdad5245c6d1de6bff9223c6ce5767c13f9e45)

/usr/lib/sysusers.d/*.conf does seem like where this file should go.

I've made local Git commits to fix this for the next bugfix upload 
(1.5.517-3). Before doing any more uploads I need to look at what's 
going on with a number of library transitions going on that could get 
negatively affected by uploads of mumble.
