init: adjust meyectl path if needed (#3011)

On Arch Linux, pip seems to not install Python modules/executables to /usr/local/bin but /usr/bin instead. In such cases, search the meyectl path in PATH and adjust the systemd service. Print an error if it could not be found at all. Fixes: #3005 Signed-off-by: MichaIng <[email protected]>
