Description of problem:
/etc/httpd/conf.d/awstats.conf file in the awstats package
1. has incorrect paths /usr/local instead of /usr/share
2. does not provide configuration for mod_authz_core module
   while mod_access_compat directives are ignored
So HTTP requests to awstats resources, e.g. icons, fail with errors

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
CentOS-8.1 and RHEL-8.1
awstats-7.7-5.el8.noarch

How reproducible:
Can be easily reproduced.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install httpd
2. Install awstats (currently it requires --enablerepo epel-testing
   due to the Bug #1819456 related to required perl packages)
3. Try to get some icon
   curl -I 127.0.0.1/awstatsicons/cpu/ibm.png

Actual results:
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
in the case of simple curl request

Statistics page has lack of icons.

If fail2ban is installed on the server and statistics page
is accessed from a browser then the client IP is banned.

Expected results:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
in the case of the curl request

Working statisitcs pages.


Additional info:

Expected configuration shipped in the package
