Starting with Fedora 42, Fedora has been working on merging /bin and /sbin directories. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Unify_bin_and_sbin To support this, make sure we do not put files into */sbin directories on these distributions by respecting the distribution set value of %{_sbindir}. In addition, explicitly set `mounthelperdir`, which affects the placement of `mount.zfs`, which does not respect %{_sbindir} by default. Making it point to %{_sbindir} will allow it to work correctly on Fedora, while keeping its previous directory of `/sbin` on all other distributions. Note that files that used to reside in */sbin directories on Fedora will stay accessible under these paths, as the distribution maintains symlinks. No changes are needed to external scripts invoking these binaries. Signed-off-by: Ralf Ertzinger <ralf@skytale.net>
