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-run</command> may be used to create and
start a transient <filename>.service</filename> or a transient
<filename>.timer</filename> or a <filename>.scope</filename> unit
and run the specified <replaceable>COMMAND</replaceable> in
it.</para>
<para>If a command is run as transient service unit, it will be
started and managed by the service manager like any other service,
and thus show up in the output of <command>systemctl
list-units</command> like any other unit. It will run in a clean
and detached execution environment. <command>systemd-run</command>
will start the service asynchronously in the background and
immediately return.</para>
<para>If a command is run with timer options, transient timer unit
also be created with transient service unit. But the transient
timer unit is only started immediately. The transient service unit
will be started when the transient timer is elapsed. If
<option>--unit=</option> is specified with timer options, the
<replaceable>COMMAND</replaceable> can be omitted. In this case,
<command>systemd-run</command> assumes service unit is already
loaded and creates transient timer unit only. To successfully
create timer unit, already loaded service unit should be specified
with <option>--unit=</option>. This transient timer unit can
activate the existing service unit like any other timer.</para>
<para>If a command is run as transient scope unit, it will be
started directly by <command>systemd-run</command> and thus
inherit the execution environment of the caller. It is however
managed by the service manager similar to normal services, and
will also show up in the output of <command>systemctl
list-units</command>. Execution in this case is synchronous, and
execution will return only when the command finishes.</para>
