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>The <filename>/etc/localtime</filename> file configures the
system-wide timezone of the local system that is used by
applications for presentation to the user. It should be an
absolute or relative symbolic link pointing to
<filename>/usr/share/zoneinfo/</filename>, followed by a timezone
identifier such as <literal>Europe/Berlin</literal> or
<literal>Etc/UTC</literal>. The resulting link should lead to the
corresponding binary
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>tzfile</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
timezone data for the configured timezone.</para>
<para>Because the timezone identifier is extracted from the
symlink target name of <filename>/etc/localtime</filename>, this
file may not be a normal file or hardlink.</para>
<para>The timezone may be overridden for individual programs by
using the <varname>$TZ</varname> environment variable. See
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>environ</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
<para>You may use
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>timedatectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
to change the settings of this file from the command line during
runtime. Use
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-firstboot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
to initialize the time zone on mounted (but not booted) system
images.</para>
