man: substitute path to rc.local in the man page
Different systems use different paths for it and users are confused when the man page has a path different than the one on the local system. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1876905

<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>systemd-rc-local-generator</filename> is a generator that checks whether
- <filename>/etc/rc.local</filename> exists and is executable, and if it is pulls the
- <filename>rc-local.service</filename> unit into the boot process. This unit is responsible for running this script
- during late boot. Note that the script will be run with slightly different semantics than the original System V
- version, which was run "last" in the boot process, which is a concept that does not translate to systemd. The
- script is run after <filename>network.target</filename>, but in parallel with most other regular system
- services.</para>
-
- <para>Support for <filename>/etc/rc.local</filename> is provided
- for compatibility with specific System V systems only. However, it is strongly recommended to avoid making use of
- this script today, and instead provide proper unit files with appropriate dependencies for any scripts to run
- during the boot process.</para>
