Clean up the naming of the sd-path enums. Previously, the more recently added fields where named in the form SD_PATH_xyz_DIR and SD_PATH_xyz_PATH, while the older fields where called just SD_PATH_xyz and SD_PATH_SEARCH_xyz. Let's clean this up, to come to a more unified way how we name this stuff. I opted to stick to the old naming, i.e. dropthe suffixes. It's a bit of a bike-shedding question of course, but I think there's a good reason to avoid the additional DIR and PATH suffixes: the enum prefix contains "PATH" anyway (i.e. "SD_PATH_"), so including PATH twice in each name is redundant. Moreover, the key difference between the enums with the "dir" and the "path" in the name is that the latter are *seach* paths, and I think this is better emphasized by sticking to the "SEARCH" in the name. Moreover dropping the suffixes makes the identifiers a lot shorter, in particular in the "systemd-path" list output. And that's always good. This means the naming pkgconfig file and in sd-path slightly deviate (though the mapping is very simple), but I think that's OK, given that this is developer facing and not user facing.
