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-detect-virt</command> detects execution in
a virtualized environment. It identifies the virtualization
technology and can distinguish full VM virtualization from
container virtualization. <filename>systemd-detect-virt</filename>
exits with a return value of 0 (success) if a virtualization
technology is detected, and non-zero (error) otherwise. By default
any type of virtualization is detected, and the options
<option>--container</option> and <option>--vm</option> can be used
to limit what types of virtualization are detected.</para>
<para>When executed without <option>--quiet</option> will print a
short identifier for the detected virtualization technology. The
following technologies are currently identified:</para>
