Not that it matters for systemd, but in general, both /var/run and /run
should be replaced by @runstatedir@ which can then be replaced at
build-time by the appropriate value from ./configure --runstatedir.

That allows a single file to work on both Linux and BSD.

The runstatedir support is part of the official autoconf-2.70 release.
