Lennart Poettering 9a00f57a5b path: add new "systemd-path" utility for querying paths described in file-hierarchy(7)
This new tool is based on "sd-path", a new (so far unexported) API for
libsystemd, that can hopefully grow into a workable API covering /opt
and more one day.

<title>Description</title>
<para><command>systemd-path</command> may be used to
query system and user paths. The tool makes many of
the paths described in

queriable.</para>
<para>When invoked without arguments a list of known
paths and their current values is shown. When at least
one argument is passed the path with this is name is
queried and its value shown. The variables whose name
