lirc: Fix build with usrmerge feature building on ubuntu hosts

We get a very cryptic error during do_package

ERROR: Didn't find service unit 'lircmd.service', specified in SYSTEMD_SERVICE:lirc.

The reason is on ubuntu build hosts configure pokes at build host and
decided its ubuntu and applies hardcoded value of /lib/systemd/system
for systemdunitdir instead of /usr/lib/systemd/system as passed from
recipe

+
+This bites during cross compiling where the target is different than
+build host and build host might be ubuntu but that does not matter in
+cross compilation case. This fails builds when usrmerge feature is used
