man: clarify that generators are run before /var

Browse source 
Just a clarification. At least systemd-openqa-generator from
openqa gets this wrong.

Generators are run very early at boot and cannot rely on
any external services. They may not talk to any other
process. That includes simple things such as logging to
<citerefentry
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>syslog</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>syslog</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
or <command>systemd</command> itself (this means: no
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>!). They
can however rely on the most basic kernel functionality to
be available, including a mounted <filename>/sys</filename>,
<filename>/proc</filename>, <filename>/dev</filename>.
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>)!.
Non-essential file systems like
<filename>/var</filename> and <filename>/home</filename>
are mounted after generators have run. Generators
can however rely on the most basic kernel functionality to be
available, including a mounted <filename>/sys</filename>,
<filename>/proc</filename>, <filename>/dev</filename>,
<filename>/usr</filename>.
