The typical symlinks are:

* /bin -> usr/bin
* /sbin -> usr/sbin
* /lib -> usr/lib
* /usr/sbin -> bin

It is checked that only sane symlinks are created, so a half-merged /usr
(e.g, merging bin and sbin, but not lib) is feasible as well.

The following options in a distro configuration create a full Fedora-style
merged /usr:

  DISTRO_FEATURES_DEFAULT += "merged-usr"
  base_bindir = "${exec_prefix}/bin"
  base_sbindir = "${exec_prefix}/bin"
  sbindir = "${exec_prefix}/bin"
  base_libdir = "${exec_prefix}/${baselib}"
  nonarch_base_libdir = "${exec_prefix}/lib"

[YOCTO #7040]

v2:
* add the merged-usr symlinks in a separate task, so do_install can be
  overridden independently of the merged-usr feature.
* add PACKAGECONFIG for merged-usr, so the package is rebuilt when the
  distro feature is changed.
