[Bug 852266] [NEW] friendly-recovery spews noise about missing commands when /usr is a separate partition

[Steve Langasek]

Public bug reported:

when using friendly-recovery on my system with a detached /usr
partition, friendly-recovery successfully launches sulogin due to the
absence of whiptail; but before it does so, it spews out a lot of errors
about missing commands because expr, printf, gettext.sh, basename, and
others are located in /usr/bin.

Perhaps this script should short-circuit at the top if /usr/bin is
absent, and just invoke sulogin directly at that point.
