After long consideration we came to the conclusion that user
configuration in /etc should always override the (generally computer
generated) configuration in /run. User configuration should always be
what matters over anything else. Hence rearrange the search orders
accordingly.
In general this should change very little as overriding like this is
seldomn done so far, and the order between /etc and /usr stays the same.
Instead of the /dev/.run trick we have currently implemented, we decided
to move the early-boot runtime dir to /run.
An existing /var/run directory is bind-mounted to /run. If /var/run is
already a symlink, no action is taken.
An existing /var/lock directory is bind-mounted to /run/lock.
If /var/lock is already a symlink, no action is taken.
To implement the directory vs. symlink logic, we have a:
ConditionPathIsDirectory=
now, which is used in the mount units.
Skipped mount unit in case of symlink:
$ systemctl status var-run.mount
var-run.mount - Runtime Directory
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/var-run.mount)
Active: inactive (dead)

Where: /var/run
What: /run
CGroup: name=systemd:/system/var-run.mount
The systemd rpm needs to make sure to add something like:
%pre
mkdir -p -m0755 /run >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
or it needs to be added to filesystem.rpm.
Udev -git already uses /run if that exists, and is writable at bootup.
Otherwise it falls back to the current /dev/.udev.
Dracut and plymouth need to be adopted to switch from /dev/.run to run
too.

This patch adds a cpp definition HAVE_SYSV_COMPAT that is used to
isolate code dealing with /etc/init.d and /etc/rcN.d for systems where
it does not make sense (one that does not use sysv or one that is fully
systemd native).
The patch tries to be as little intrusive as possible, however in
order to minimize the number of #ifdef'ed regions I've reordered some
code in path-lookup.c:lookup_paths_init() where all code dealing with
sysv is now isolated under running_as == MANAGER_SYSTEM as well.
Moreover, In struct Service, some fields were rearranged to reduce
the number of ifdefs.
Lennart's suggestions were fixed and squashed with the original patch,
that was sent by Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri (barbieri@profusion.mobi).
