The OpenEmbedded User Manual list the variables that should be used to
control the directories into which files are installed.

It says that is a poor practice to specify hardcoded paths instead of
using these variables, yet there are many recipes that don't use it.

This is second version of a big patch-set that does a cleanup and replace
the hardcoded paths used on these recipes with the build system variables.

I tried to be as careful as possible to do the proper replacement but
since I could introduce regressions I split the changes in 30 different
patches so it could be git bisectable in case of messing a recipe.

Also, the patches increment the recipes PR since the a distro config can
set the variables to a different value.

Changes since v1:

- Bump recipes PR as suggested by Otavio Salvador and Khem Raj
- Squash ${base_bindir} and ${sysconfdir} changes for xinetd and lsb
  recipes so the PR number gets incremented only once. 

The patch-set consist of the following patches:

[PATCH v2 01/28] xinetd: use ${sbindir} and ${sysconfdir} instead of
[PATCH v2 02/28] alsa-state: use ${sbindir} instead of /usr/sbin for
