            profile: do not add /usr/sbin to the path

On systems with merged-sbin, /usr/sbin is a symlink to /usr/bin
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Unify_bin_and_sbin).

As reported in the Fedora Python channel,
python3 -c 'import sys; print(sys.executable)'
now returns /usr/sbin/python3 rather than /usr/bin/python3.
We don't want the symlinked directories in the $PATH at all.
