tinyproxy conservatively defaulted to allow CONNECT method only
on two ports used by SSL in the ancient past, but since HTTPS usage
got much more widespread (actually, it's now the default for the
majority of websites), it makes sense now to allow it without
restriction by default to accomodate for the new situation.
I.e., add a tinyproxy subdirectory.
This is meant to ease running tinyproxy as non-root user.
The subdirectory can be used to give the tinyproxy user
write permission.

Maybe, it would be better to have a two stage process here:
1. Have AC_SUBST from configure substitute as many variables
as possible in a fist stage
tinyproxy.conf.tmpl.in --> tinyproxy.conf.tmp
2. Have make substitute those remaining paths that can not be
substituted reasonable by configure due to the internal
workings of automake.

This is a first cut at providing a tinyproxy.conf file with
more useful default or example directories. It uses datadir,
sysconfdir and localstatedir.
Because automake is a little special here, this template can
not simply be processed by configure (AC_CONFIG_FILES(...)),
as these variables can only be used like this in makefiles.
Instead, we need a little sed-processor in the Makfile in etc/.
