rlocate 0.3.0 release

rlocate is an implementation of the "locate" command that is always up-to-date. The database that the original locate uses is usually updated only once a day, so newer files cannot be located right away. The behavior of rlocate is the same as slocate, but it also maintains a diff database that gets updated whenever a file is created or a directory is moved. The rlocate kernel module can be compiled only with Linux 2.6 kernels.

Changes:
Fast update was implemented. Fast update is run automatically every time, except the first time and every tenth time updatedb is started. Fast update takes 2 to 10 seconds to complete.
Permissions for diff database and /proc/rlocate were fixed.
module.cfg was moved to var directory.
