Returns system configuration directory.
This is typically "/etc", but is modified by the prefix used when Ruby was compiled. For example, if Ruby is built and installed in /usr/local, returns "/usr/local/etc" on other platforms than Windows.
On Windows, this always returns the directory provided by the system.
