g.search.modules depends on grass-gui

[martinl]

In distributions like Debian/Ubuntu GRASS is split into more packages like grass-core and grass-gui. Currently G72:g.search.modules (shifted by grass-core) depends on XML (gui/wxpython/xml/module_items.xml) which is shifted by grass-gui package.

Currently the command fails (no grass-gui package not installed).

RASS 7.2.0 (landsat):~ > g.search.modules buffer
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/grass72/scripts/g.search.modules", line 246, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/usr/lib/grass72/scripts/g.search.modules", line 81, in main
    modules = _search_module(keywords, AND, manpages)
  File "/usr/lib/grass72/scripts/g.search.modules", line 176, in _search_module
    menudata_file = open(filename, 'r')
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/lib/grass72/gui/wxpython/xml/module_items.xml'

Solution: GUI XML files could be moved to 'etc' directory.

I'm not really sure about the right directory and files which are specific to wxGUI GUI actions, but generally I agree that this needs to be revised. If would implement #645 by using the toolbox trees with the current structure, we would make grass-gui dependent on grass-doc which is not right.
