bin/, lib/, default/, install/ and test/ exist only where a real
file lands. bin/donbox takes DONBOX_PATH from the environment
and, when it is unset, resolves it from its own resolved
location (symlinks followed) and exports it.

The session gets the variable from
~/.config/environment.d/50-donbox.conf, written by
install/environment, which resolves the checkout from its own
location and rewrites the file only when it has changed. A
systemd user environment generator was the first attempt and
was dropped: systemd has no per-user search path for those, so
it would have needed root to install.

default/systemd/user/donbox-session.target verifies clean
under systemd-analyze --user verify. test/shell and
test/shell.d/base-test.sh are carried over, with the XDG
trees pointed at a sandbox so no suite can reach the real ones,
and test/shell.d/path-test.sh covers the resolution.
