The depmod.d configuration order/handling aligns with existing tools
such as sysctl.d, even though there is no mention in the manual.
Reorder the list in SYNOPSIS and add a bit of verbiage describing things.
Section is inspired by sysctl.d(5) and sysctl(8).

Presently when DISTCONFDIR is identical to /lib we remove the whole
line, since the man pages already have an /lib instance.
At the same time, there are in-text DISTCONFDIR entries, and removing
the whole line outright breaks the documentation.
Drop the removal line - worst case scenario we get a duplicate entry in
the synopsis.

Note that scdoc does not handle natively handle the dummy
modules.dep.bin.5 entry, so we need to create one manually.
Not a big deal, since it's single static line anyway.
Also: pkg-config --variable=scdoc scdoc, produces the full executable
and path, although for now we stick with the AC_PATH_PROG approach.

[ Do not add the stub man page (modules.dep.bin.5) to CLEANFILES
to avoid removing a file that is tracked by git. Also fix a typo
s/AM_V_SCDOR_/AM_V_SCDOC_/ to make silent rules to work ]

Currently we have a pattern rule, which effective states that two output
files are produced - %.5 and %.8. Although that's not the case in
practise, since each input xml will be generated to a single manual
page.
Add the manpage section as part of the xml filename and tweak the
pattern (match) rule, accordingly.

Now that modprobe.d is searched under ${prefix}/lib, allow a complete
transition to files only under ${prefix} by adding a ${module_directory}
configuration. This specifies the directory where to search for kernel
modules and should match the location where the kernel/distro installs
them.
With this distributions that do not want to ship files in /lib can also
move kernel modules to /usr while others can keep them in /lib.

There is an ongoing effort to limit use of files outside of /usr (or
${prefix} on general). Currently all modprobe.d paths are hardcoded to
outside of $prefix. Teach kmod to load modprobe.d from ${prefix}/lib.
On some distributions /usr/lib and /lib are the same directory because
of a compatibility symlink, and it is possible to craft configuration
files with sideeffects that would behave differently when loaded twice.
However, the override semantic ensures that one 'overrides' the other,
and only one configuration file of the same name is loaded from any of
the search directories.

We can't do at configure phase since we actually ship the built man pages with
dist, so it's fine not having xsltproc if building from dist. If building from
the repository, it's better to have have a better message saying xsltproc was
not found than trying to execute the argument to xsltproc. Now message is:
XSLT depmod.d.5
/bin/sh: line 1: xsltproc: command not found
Instead of:
XSLT depmod.d.5
/bin/sh: --nonet: command not found
