1. support usrmerged /bin and /sbin …

   Distros are adopting the merged /usr directories scheme where the /{bin,sbin,lib}/
   directories are made symbolic links to /usr/{bin,sbin,lib}/.
   
   There are use cases where this could be justified for Distroless
   as well. For example, a statically built Busybox/Toybox w/ built-in
   shell can be installed to /usr/bin and still have the typical
   shellscript shebangs (/bin/sh or /bin/bash) working.
   
   However, Debian 11/12 base packages (base-files, libc6 etc) do not
   support the merged /usr so it's not very straightfoward to enable
   for Distroless.
   
   One approach to support this for /bin/ and /sbin is to create a
   layer with whiteouts and symlinks. Tests are also added to ensure
   any Distroless image flavor does not overwrite the symlinks created
   in that lower layer.
