implement the desired behavior

Slim/Music/Import.pm tries to use copies of squeezecenter-scanner in the preferred vendor locations if possible. This causes problems if you want to install the official Linux package but also occasionally shut that down and run a different version from a tarball, SVN checkout, etc. -- as I like to do before committing to an upgrade of my main system.

I think the behavior should probably be to only use the preferred vendor location if there's not a scanner.pl in the $Bin directory. 1) When running an offcial package, SC7 would only find squeezecenter-scanner in the preferred location, and it would continue to work properly. 2) When running from a tarball in a home directory, SC7 would find $Bin/scanner.pl and ignore any squeezecenter-scanner that might exist elsewhere -- and also work properly.
