Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek c2ee27a5e7 man: substitute path to rc.local in the man page
Different systems use different paths for it and users are confused when the
man page has a path different than the one on the local system.

<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>systemd-rc-local-generator</filename> is a generator that checks whether
<filename>&RC_LOCAL_PATH;</filename> exists and is executable, and if it is pulls the
<filename>rc-local.service</filename> unit into the boot process. This unit is responsible for running
this script during late boot. Note that the script will be run with slightly different semantics than the
original System V version, which was run "last" in the boot process, which is a concept that does not
translate to systemd. The script is run after <filename>network.target</filename>, but in parallel with
most other regular system services.</para>
<para>Support for <filename>&RC_LOCAL_PATH;</filename> is provided for compatibility with specific System
V systems only. However, it is strongly recommended to avoid making use of this script today, and instead
provide proper unit files with appropriate dependencies for any scripts to run during the boot process.
Note that the path to the script is set a compile time and varies between distributions.</para>
