[#5157] - Why custom path taking highest priority in Layout

- # 5157
Joomla has already provided layout with great overriding option. But I feel one issue with layout-overriding. When I put custom base-path then it would not be overridden. So I want to override JLayoutFile class in my extension and change sequence of path priority.
Following path priority followed
1. templates/mytemplate/html/layouts/com_mycomponent
2. components/com_mycomponent/layouts
3. templates/mytemplate/html/layouts
4. base_path (custom path set by me)
5. layouts
I need feedback from Joomla-developers.

@mManishTrivedi @illovo There is #3231 which also has some proposal for that. May I suggest to move your comments there? That PR is still WIP, so your proposals can be incorporated there...
Don't make the whole thing to complex.

What do you think about an additional option for class JLayoutFile. Something like
$options = array('basePathOverridable' => 1);
Depending on this option refreshIncludePaths() could sort $this->basePath with a lower priority.
Why? I use some layouts that expect current bahavior. Overrides would be a bad idea concerning updates. For other layouts it would be perfect to give users the opportunity to use overrides. Thus I could work with two custom layout folders, one overridable, the other one not, or similiar.
