[sxhkd] Add sxhkdrc parsing to mode script

Can now parse the usual sxhkdrc file in looking for mode chain
combinations. Will prefer explicit configuration files if they exist.
Read the -h to learn more.

  The label configuration file uses the following format:

+   mode name:key chain

- An example file:
+ Lines beginning with a # will be ignored. Whitespace is important, sxhkd will, by 
+ default, put a single space between any component of the key combination.
 
+ An example file chain-labels.conf:
    media:super + alt + m
    system:super + backspace
 
+ Instead of using an explicit configuration file, you can put the chain mode 
+ information into the regular sxhkdrc as comments. They need to follow this exact format:
+   # mode:mode name:key chain 
+
+ They can occur anywhere in the file. The space before mode is necessary, and # needs to 
+ be the first character on the line. The above example file as written into the sxhkdrc:
+   # mode:media:super + alt + m
+   # mode:system:super + backspace
+
+ If an explicit configuration file exists, it will supersede any mode information in the
+ sxhkdrc file.
