Description of problem:
In sysconfig.txt:
  /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup:
  /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdown:

    Symlinks to /sbin/ifup and /sbin/ifdown, respectively.
    (snip)
    only -- they'll will probably be removed in future versions, so
    only /sbin/ifup and /sbin/ifdown should currently be used.

But, usernetctl.c call those symlinks as below:
  main() in usernetctl.c line 132:
    if (!strcmp(argv[2], "up")) {
	cmd = "./ifup";
    } else if (!strcmp(argv[2], "down")) {
	cmd = "./ifdown";
    } else if (!strcmp(argv[2], "report")) {
	report = 1;
    } else {
	usage();
    }
    (snip)
    execle(cmd, cmd, ifaceConfig, NULL, safeEnviron);

Therefore, these two facts are inconsistent.
usernetctl should call /sbin/ifup or /sbin/ifdown.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. see source code or run commands as root:
  # strace -u some_user /usr/sbin/usernetctl eth0 up


Actual Results:
...
chdir("/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts") = 0
...
execve("./ifup", ["./ifup", "ifcfg-eth0"], [/* 2 vars */]) = 0
...


Expected Results:
...
execve("/sbin/ifup", ["/sbin/ifup", "ifcfg-eth0"], [/* 2 vars */]) = 0
...

# no need to chdir()


Additional info:

It's not a bug currently, but this potential bug may arise in future version.
