Drop the hardcoded binary path from the programs.
Instead use a very basic heuristic to find them and inject the full path when needed. This allows those programs which have been converted to polkit (and thus have binary path in /usr/bin) to happily coexist with ones which have not (and thus have path in /usr/sbin). Long term goal is to put all binaries in /usr/bin and ditch any kind of reliance on PATH as a fundamental separator. The tools which need root privs should either be wrapped in polkit policy or simply refuse to run. mga#11125
