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>systemd-tmpfiles</command> creates, deletes, and
cleans up volatile and temporary files and directories, based on
the configuration file format and location specified in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>tmpfiles.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
<para>If invoked with no arguments, it applies all directives from
all configuration files. If one or more filenames are passed on
the command line, only the directives in these files are applied.
If only the basename of a configuration file is specified, all
configuration directories as specified in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>tmpfiles.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
are searched for a matching file.</para>

<para>It is possible to combine <option>--create</option>,
<option>--clean</option>, and <option>--remove</option> in one
invocation. For example, during boot the following command line is
executed to ensure that all temporary and volatile directories are
removed and created according to the configuration file:</para>
<programlisting>systemd-tmpfiles --remove --create</programlisting>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Unprivileged --cleanup operation</title>
<para><command>systemd-tmpfiles</command> tries to avoid changing
the access and modification times on the directories it accesses,
which requires <constant>CAP_ADMIN</constant> privileges. When
running as non-root, directories which are checked for files to
clean up will have their access time bumped, which might prevent
their cleanup.

<title>Exit status</title>
<para>On success, 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code
otherwise.</para>
