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><filename>sd-login.h</filename> provides APIs to introspect
and monitor seat, login session and user status information on the
local system. </para>
<para>See <ulink
url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/multiseat">Multi-Seat
on Linux</ulink> for an introduction into multi-seat support on
Linux, the background for this set of APIs.</para>
<para>Note that these APIs only allow purely passive access and
monitoring of seats, sessions and users. To actively make changes
to the seat configuration, terminate login sessions, or switch
session on a seat you need to utilize the D-Bus API of
systemd-logind, instead.</para>
<para>These functions synchronously access data in
<filename>/proc</filename>, <filename>/sys/fs/cgroup</filename>
and <filename>/run</filename>. All of these are virtual file
systems, hence the runtime cost of the accesses is relatively
cheap.</para>
<para>It is possible (and often a very good choice) to mix calls
to the synchronous interface of <filename>sd-login.h</filename>
with the asynchronous D-Bus interface of systemd-logind. However,
if this is done you need to think a bit about possible races since
the stream of events from D-Bus and from
<filename>sd-login.h</filename> interfaces such as the login
monitor are asynchronous and not ordered against each
other.</para>
<para>If the functions return string arrays, these are generally
<constant>NULL</constant> terminated and need to be freed by the
caller with the libc
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
call after use, including the strings referenced therein.
Similarly, individual strings returned need to be freed, as
well.</para>
<para>As a special exception, instead of an empty string array
<constant>NULL</constant> may be returned, which should be treated
equivalent to an empty string array.</para>
