Working on implementing option 2, I noticed that friendly-recovery depends on
whiptail which is in /usr/bin.
We're not going to be moving whiptail and libnewt out of /usr this cycle but
it's definitely something that should happen for next cycle (opening bug tasks
for these two).
For now, friendly-recovery itself will be in /lib and will simply drop
to a root shell if /urs/bin/whiptail can't be accessed.
Whenever we move whiptail to /bin we should also make sure nothing
currently refers to it with an hardcoded path as friendly-recovery used
to do.
