Tom Gundersen 12b42c7667 man: revert dynamic paths for split-usr setups
This did not really work out as we had hoped. Trying to do this upstream
introduced several problems that probably makes it better suited as a
downstream patch after all. At any rate, it is not releaseable in the
current state, so we at least need to revert this before the release.

 * by adjusting the path to binaries, but not do the same thing to the
   search path we end up with inconsistent man-pages. Adjusting the search
   path too would be quite messy, and it is not at all obvious that this is
   worth the effort, but at any rate it would have to be done before we
   could ship this.

 * this means that distributed man-pages does not make sense as they depend
   on config options, and for better or worse we are still distributing
   man pages, so that is something that definitely needs sorting out before
   we could ship with this patch.

 * we have long held that split-usr is only minimally supported in order
   to boot, and something we hope will eventually go away. So before we start
   adding even more magic/effort in order to make this work nicely, we should
   probably question if it makes sense at all.

<title>Description</title>
<para><command>systemd-cgtop</command> shows the top control
groups of the local Linux control group hierarchy, ordered by
their CPU, memory, or disk I/O load. The display is refreshed in
regular intervals (by default every 1s), similar in style to
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>top</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
<para>If <command>systemd-cgtop</command> is not connected to a tty, no
column headers are printed and the default is to only run one iteration.
The <varname>--iterations</varname> argument, if given, is still honored.
This mode is suitable for scripting.</para>
<para>Resource usage is only accounted for control groups in the
relevant hierarchy, i.e. CPU usage is only accounted for control
groups in the <literal>cpuacct</literal> hierarchy, memory usage
only for those in <literal>memory</literal> and disk I/O usage for
those in <literal>blkio</literal>. If resource monitoring for
these resources is required, it is recommended to add the
<varname>CPUAccounting=1</varname>,
<varname>MemoryAccounting=1</varname> and
<varname>BlockIOAccounting=1</varname> settings in the unit files
in question. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.resource-control</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details.</para>
<para>The CPU load value can be between 0 and 100 times the number of
processors the system has. For example, if the system has 8 processors,
the CPU load value is going to be between 0% and 800%. The number of
processors can be found in <literal>/proc/cpuinfo</literal>.</para>
<para>To emphasize this: unless
<literal>CPUAccounting=1</literal>,
<literal>MemoryAccounting=1</literal> and
<literal>BlockIOAccounting=1</literal> are enabled for the
services in question, no resource accounting will be available for
system services and the data shown by
<command>systemd-cgtop</command> will be incomplete.</para>
