Patch for the default applications menu

Downstream bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/garcon/+bug/1213518

the file /etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu has the <DefaultMergeDirs/> at
the beginning of the file where it is processed and the extra files are merged
before the rest of the default file are read. This means that the default
layouts etc. will override the merged file but the freedesktop standard is that
the merged in files (in the user's direcory for example) should override the
default file. This affects any package like alacarte that edits the menu, or a
package that customizes the menu from /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/
directory. This can be corrected by moving the <DefaultMergeDirs/> line to the
second last line just one line bfore the very last </Menu> line.

The attached patch seems to resolve this issue.
