[Armbian build PR] - add xorg.conf.d/01-armbian-defaults.conf to conffiles

Description

I was accidentally burned when updating my BSP package this week. I had inadvertently left some important xorg config in 01-armbian-defaults.conf, and this file was overwritten during the upgrade.

I came to the conclusion that either:

  1. the comment in 01-armbian-defaults.conf should be updated to indicate to users that the file may be overwritten and should not be edited, or
  2. 01-armbian-defaults.conf should be placed in the conffiles list so that an end-user can review any potential changes to the file as part of the package upgrade process.

I contend that option (2) is better, because even if a user hasn't edited this file, they should still get some notice if it change. This way they can verify those changes and if their xorg suddenly stops working after an upgrade, they have some indication of the cause.

How Has This Been Tested?

Did not test it.
