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>A unit configuration file whose name ends in
<literal>.slice</literal> encodes information about a slice which
is a concept for hierarchically managing resources of a group of
processes. This management is performed by creating a node in the
Linux Control Group (cgroup) tree. Units that manage processes
(primarily scope and service units) may be assigned to a specific
slice. For each slice, certain resource limits may be set that
apply to all processes of all units contained in that
slice. Slices are organized hierarchically in a tree. The name of
the slice encodes the location in the tree. The name consists of a
dash-separated series of names, which describes the path to the
slice from the root slice. The root slice is named,
<filename>-.slice</filename>. Example:
<filename>foo-bar.slice</filename> is a slice that is located
within <filename>foo.slice</filename>, which in turn is located in
the root slice <filename>-.slice</filename>.
</para>
<para>By default, service and scope units are placed in
<filename>system.slice</filename>, virtual machines and containers
registered with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-machined</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
are found in <filename>machine.slice</filename>, and user sessions
handled by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-logind</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
in <filename>user.slice</filename>. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.special</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for more information.</para>
<para>See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for the common options of all unit configuration
files. The common configuration items are configured
in the generic [Unit] and [Install] sections. The
slice specific configuration options are configured in
the [Slice] section. Currently, only generic resource control settings
as described in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.resource-control</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> are allowed.
</para>
<para>Unless <varname>DefaultDependencies=false</varname>
is used, slice units will implicitly have dependencies of
type <varname>Conflicts=</varname> and
<varname>Before=</varname> on
<filename>shutdown.target</filename>. These ensure
that slice units are removed prior to system
shutdown. Only slice units involved with early boot or
late system shutdown should disable this option.
