system: add support for merged /usr/sbin (aka merged-bin)

Starting with version 256 [0], systemd warns when /usr/bin and
/usr/sbin are different directories; in the future, it may even
refuse to boot in such a situation.

Add support for merged-bin, not unlike the support we have for
merged-usr; we also make merged-bin a sub-case of merged-usr
(i.e. it is not possible to do merged-bin without merged-usr).

If you say 'n' here, then /usr/bin and /usr/sbin will be
