📄 Description

Changes:

Use strace --trace=%file instead of | grep open, so that more
path-related syscalls are traced (rather than just open*)
Always use strace -f to ensure that child processes are also traced
Add an example using firejail + strace for --private-etc
Improve formatting/grammar
Add references between commands related to strace

Added on commit 9774ab8a3 ("private-etc rework: new man page",
2023-01-25) / issue #6400.

Misc: This was noticed on #6843.
