/usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup is overwritten on updates

Bug Description

The /usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup file is automatically and silently overwritten when sddm is updated, removing any modifications the user may have made to the file. This is a pain because it requires the file to be re-edited after every update if the user needs to launch something (a VNC server, for example) from Xsetup.

Instead, this file should probably be handled like other configuration files (asking the user whether to keep or replace the file).
