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>
<command>kernel-install</command> is used to install and remove kernel and
initramfs images to and from <filename>/boot</filename>.
</para>
<para><command>kernel-install</command> will execute the files
located in the directory <filename>/usr/lib/kernel/install.d/</filename>
and the local administration directory <filename>/etc/kernel/install.d/</filename>.
All files are collectively sorted and executed in lexical order, regardless of the directory in
which they live. However, files with identical filenames replace each other.
Files in <filename>/etc/kernel/install.d/</filename> take precedence over files with the same name
in <filename>/usr/lib/kernel/install.d/</filename>. This can be used to override a system-supplied
executables with a local file if needed; a symbolic link in <filename>/etc/kernel/install.d/</filename>
with the same name as an executable in <filename>/usr/lib/kernel/install.d/</filename>,
pointing to /dev/null, disables the executable entirely. Executables must have the
extension <literal>.install</literal>; other extensions are ignored.</para>

missing), or "Linux

the configuration.</para>
