man: drop reference to /bin/ from docs regarding binary search path

We don't support "split /usr" systems anymore, hence no point in
mentioning /bin/ anymore as being part of the binary search path.

     <para>For each command, the first argument must be either an absolute path to an executable or a simple
     file name without any slashes. If the command is not a full (absolute) path, it will be resolved to a
     full path using a fixed search path determined at compilation time. Searched directories include
-    <filename>/usr/local/bin/</filename>, <filename>/usr/bin/</filename>, <filename>/bin/</filename> on
