**Summary**
- Symlink {/bin,/sbin} to {/usr/bin,/usr/sbin}
- Any existing binaries in /bin or /sbin will be seemlessly moved over.
**Packager's Notes**
- Note that /lib(64) will be merged to /usr in a follow up PR to
complete the /usr merge transition.
Part of #293.

**Summary**
- Symlink {/bin,/sbin} to {/usr/bin,/usr/sbin}
- Any existing binaries in /bin or /sbin will be seemlessly moved over.
- Drop /bin and /sbin from default $PATH
Part of #293.
Note: that /lib will be merged to /usr in a follow up PR as
`kernel-glue` and CBM will have to be investigated.
Note: this is a forward change only as our current baselayout never
managed /bin or /sbin paths as they were created ad-hoc by packages.
**Test Plan**
- Create a new rootfs from scratch from this baselayout
- Create a new solbuild image from this baselayout and use it
- Build and launch ISOs from this baselayout
- Create custom binaries in `/bin` and `/sbin` and verify they get moved
over to `/usr/bin` and `/usr/sbin` respectively
- `realpath /bin` -> `/usr/bin`
- `realpath /sbin` -> `/usr/sbin`
- `which touch` -> `/usr/bin/touch`
**Checklist**
- [x] Package was built and tested against unstable
Merged

@silkeh How many of the checkboxes are done here?! |
8 tasks
|
Some of the linked tasks contain steps for the epoch transition, and some checkboxes apply to that as well. Closing this in favour of #4119 as I consider the /usr merge to be completed with the release of the latest ISOs! |

Now systemd will drop support for unmerged-usr setups, it seems we have to switch to a merged
/usras well. Also see the Case for the /usr Merge.Related issues and MRs:
Plan:
There are two orders in which we can do this:
Move first:
/bin,/sbin,/lib32and/lib64. Provide compatibility symlinks where needed (eg:/bin/bash)./{bin,sbin,lib32,lib64}to their/usr/counterparts with ausysconftrigger.The trigger will be trivial as those directories //should// be empty.
Move later(rejected):/{bin,sbin,lib32,lib64}to their/usr/counterparts through ausysconftrigger.The trigger will be somewhat complicated as it would need to actually merge the directories.
/bin,/sbin,/lib32and/lib64(leisurely).Support in software:
