We've long struggled with semantics for `/var`. Our stance of
"/var should start out empty and be managed by the OS" is a strict
one, that pushes things closer to the original systemd upstream
ideal of the "OS state is in /usr".
However...well, a few things. First, we had some legacy bits
here which were always populating the deployment `/var`. I don't
think we need that if systemd is in use, so detect if the tree
has `usr/lib/tmpfiles.d`, and don't create that stuff at
`ostree admin stateroot-init` time if so.
Building on that then, we have the stateroot `var` starting out
actually empty.
When we do a deployment, if the stateroot `var` is empty,
make a copy (reflink if possible of course) of the commit's `/var`
into it.
This matches the semantics that Docker created with volumes,
and this is sufficiently simple and easy to explain that I think
it's closer to the right thing to do.
Crucially...it's just really handy to have some pre-existing
directories in `/var` in container images, because Docker (and podman/kube/etc)
don't run systemd and hence don't run `tmpfiles.d` on startup.
I really hit on the fact that we need `/var/tmp` in our container
images by default for example.
So there's still some overlap here with e.g. `/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/var.conf`
as shipped by systemd, but that's fine - they don't actually conflict
per se.
