Most distros are now merging /usr/sbin into /usr/bin. Let's not make it
more confusing by installing in /usr/sbin upstream and have a different
install location when packaged downstream.
This has the benefit of fixing packaging on Fedora which recently
changed their %{_sbindir} macro to point to /usr/bin. Unfortunately, the
install_dir in meson.build was wrongfully set to explicit 'sbin' instead
of get_option('sbindir').
