Patch to default MailScanner.conf for correct SpamAssassin Local State Dir

As Theo van Dinter notes in
http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=4952#c11 , the
spamassassin local_state_dir includes /spamassassin, e.g.
/var/lib/spamassassin, and not /var/lib.

The attached patch fixes the default MailScanner.conf to document the
correct location.

It would be great if MailScanner --lint could do some sanity checks on
the spamassassin directories specified by users.

The Spamassassin Local State Dir should have a numeric subdirectory
representing the SA version and under it we'd expect to find an
updates_spamassassin_org directory containing a bunch of .cf files.

Similar consistency checks could be used against the SpamAssassin Site
Rules Dir entry, etc.

Cheers,

Phil
