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-networkd</command> is a system service that
manages networks. It detects and configures network devices as
they appear, as well as creating virtual network devices.</para>
<para>To configure low-level link settings independently of
networks, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.link</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
<para>Network configurations applied before networkd is started
are not removed, and static configuration applied by networkd is
not removed when networkd exits. Dynamic configuration applied by
networkd may also optionally be left in place on shutdown. This
ensures restarting networkd does not cut the network connection,
and, in particular, that it is safe to transition between the
initrd and the real root, and back.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1><title>Configuration Files</title>
<para>The configuration files are read from the files located in the
system network directory <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/network</filename>,
the volatile runtime network directory
<filename>/run/systemd/network</filename> and the local administration
network directory <filename>/etc/systemd/network</filename>.</para>
<para>Networks are configured in <filename>.network</filename>
files, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.network</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
and virtual network devices are configured in
<filename>.netdev</filename> files, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.netdev</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
