[Buildroot] [PATCH] package/skeleton-init-systemd: create a symlink /var/run to ../run

[Romain Naour <romain.naour@gmail.com>]

As reported by J?r?my Rosen [1] and Jan Kundr?t (RO case)[2], systemd
looks for the dbus socket in /run/dbus instead of /var/run/dbus which
is not where dbus puts the socket. This is a change introduced with
the last version bump v237 [3].

The file /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/var.con will create automatically that
symlink at bootup /var/run doesn't exist yet. But dbus creates, at
install time, the directory /var/run/dbus without taking care of
/var/run. So we end up with two different directories /run and
/var/run. This bug affects more or less all systemd-provided
utilities, including logind and systemd itself.

This patch create the correct symlink run -> ../run when systemd
is used as init system.
