Bug Description

When using the DS-5 Streamline tool with Linaro Android, attempting to update the Counter Configuration fails with "Error writing /system/bin/configuration.xml". It is the Gator daemon on the device trying to write this file, which can't work as /system/bin/ is a read-only filesystem. This is a bad location anyway, and I believe it is chosen as the default location as that is where the gatord binary lives.

This can probably be fixed by launching gartord with a '-c' arg to specify a better location and name for the config file.

The same should be done for Ubuntu. The configuration.xml should probably live somewhere in /var/...

Fixed for VExpress Android and other devices which use the common init.rc file. Gator packaging for Ubuntu still needs fixing, and also any Android devices with their own copy of init.rc
