Revert back to /var/run at a couple of problems
This partially reverts 41a55c46ab8fb4ef6727434227071321fc762cce Some specifications we want to stay compatibility actually document /var/run, not /run, and we should stay compatible with that. In order to make sure our D-Bus implementation works on any system, regardless if running systemd or not, we should always use /var/run which is the only path mandated by the D-Bus spec. Similar, glibc hardcodes the utmp location to /var/run, and this is exposed in _UTMP_PATH in limits.h, hence let's stay in sync with this public API, too. We simply do not support systems where /var/run is not a symlink → /run. Hence both are equivalent. Staying compatible with upstream specifications hence weighs more than cleaning up superficial appearance.
