Enable more customization: configure your own LIVEDE.

A new sample configuration file 'make_slackware_live.conf' shows a
commented-out example of how to use the variables LIVEDE, SEQ_CUSTOM
and a function "custom_config()" to create a Slackware Live variant
which is not covered by the available variants SLACKWARE, XFCE, KDE4,
PLASMA5, MATE or CINNAMON.
