Filipe Brandenburger 681eb9cf2b man: generate configured paths in manpages
In particular, use /lib/systemd instead of /usr/lib/systemd in distributions
like Debian which still have not adopted a /usr merge setup.

Use XML entities from man/custom-entities.ent to replace configured paths while
doing XSLT processing of the original XML files. There was precedent of some
files (such as systemd.generator.xml) which were already using this approach.

This addresses most of the (manual) fixes from this patch:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/patches/Fix-paths-in-man-pages.patch?h=experimental-220

The idea of using generic XML entities was presented here:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-May/032240.html

This patch solves almost all the issues, with the exception of:
- Path to /bin/mount and /bin/umount.
- Generic statements about preference of /lib over /etc.

These will be handled separately by follow up patches.

Tested:
- With default configure settings, ran "make install" to two separate
  directories and compared the output to confirm they matched exactly.
- Used a set of configure flags including $CONFFLAGS from Debian:
  http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/tree/debian/rules
  Installed the tree and confirmed the paths use /lib/systemd instead of
  /usr/lib/systemd and that no other unexpected differences exist.
- Confirmed that `make distcheck` still passes.

<title>Description</title>
<para><function>sd_journal_next()</function> advances the read
pointer into the journal by one entry. The only argument taken is
a journal context object as allocated via
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_open</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
After successful invocation the entry may be read with functions
such as
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_get_data</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
<para>Similarly, <function>sd_journal_previous()</function> sets
the read pointer back one entry.</para>
<para><function>sd_journal_next_skip()</function> and
<function>sd_journal_previous_skip()</function> advance/set back
the read pointer by multiple entries at once, as specified in the
<varname>skip</varname> parameter.</para>
<para>The journal is strictly ordered by reception time, and hence
advancing to the next entry guarantees that the entry then
pointing to is later in time than then previous one, or has the
same timestamp.</para>
<para>Note that
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_get_data</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
and related calls will fail unless
<function>sd_journal_next()</function> has been invoked at least
once in order to position the read pointer on a journal
entry.</para>
<para>Note that the <function>SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH()</function>
macro may be used as a wrapper around
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_seek_head</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
and <function>sd_journal_next()</function> in order to make
iterating through the journal easier. See below for an example.
Similarly, <function>SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_BACKWARDS()</function> may
be used for iterating the journal in reverse order.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Return Value</title>
<para>The four calls return the number of entries advanced/set
back on success or a negative errno-style error code. When the end
or beginning of the journal is reached, a number smaller than
requested is returned. More specifically, if
<function>sd_journal_next()</function> or
<function>sd_journal_previous()</function> reach the end/beginning
of the journal they will return 0, instead of 1 when they are
successful. This should be considered an EOF marker.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Notes</title>
<para>The <function>sd_journal_next()</function>,
<function>sd_journal_previous()</function>,
<function>sd_journal_next_skip()</function> and
<function>sd_journal_previous_skip()</function> interfaces are
available as a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to
with the
<constant>libsystemd</constant> <citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>pkg-config</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
file.</para>
