[pve-devel] [RFC manager/lxc-syscalld/container 0/4] avoid using generic runtime directory name for pve-lxc-syscalld

This is intended for PVE 9.

The pve-lxc-syscalld systemd service currently uses /run/pve as a
runtime directory. This means, that when the service is restarted, the
directory will be recreated. But the /run/pve directory is not just
used as the runtime directory of this service, but also for other
things, e.g. storage tunnel and mtunnel sockets, container stderr logs
as well as pull metric cache and lock, which will be lost when the
service is restarted.

Versioned Breaks needed:

new pve-lxc-syscalld breaks old pve-container: when the experimental
'mknod' feature is used, which requires specifying the new socket path

new pve-lxc-syscalld breaks old pve-manager: /run/pve is not
automatically created in the context of pull metrics yet

I've never used systemd tmpfiles.d before, so that requires extra
scrutiny 0:)
