Release tarball contains wrong sesman.ini and xrdp.ini instead of sesman.ini.in and xrdp.ini.in #3187

Description

I found a long-lived problem occurred by #1036 similar to #3149.

Release tarball should contain sesman.ini.in and xrdp.ini.in for substitution on the builder's side. However, it contains substituted sesman.ini and xrdp.ini instead on the developer's side when making a release tarball by make dist.

% tar ztf xrdp-0.10.1.tar.gz | egrep "(xrdp|sesman).ini"
xrdp-0.10.1/xrdp/xrdp.ini
xrdp-0.10.1/docs/man/sesman.ini.5.in
xrdp-0.10.1/docs/man/xrdp.ini.5.in
xrdp-0.10.1/sesman/sesman.ini

This is not intended and, as a result, sesman.ini and xrdp.ini are not generated ones to suit the actual environment. This problem affects package maintainers, not end-users. The package maintainer may have had to write a patch that was not necessary.

I don't intend to make another release v0.10.1.1 for this problem at the moment because it mostly affects package maintainers. I think power-users who build and install xrdp by themselves would prefer git clone rather than tarball so not affected. It will be fixed in the regular v0.10.2 release. @matt335672 What do you think?

Here is the suggested patch.
