docs: install README files into /var/log and 7etc/rc.d/init.d

On systemd systems seasoned admins might be surprised to see that the
init scripts and log files are gone. To ease the transition let's place
some README files there, that hopefully help clearing up the situation.

You are looking for the traditional init scripts in @SYSTEM_SYSVINIT_PATH@,
and they are gone?
Here's an explanation on what's going on:
You are running a systemd-based OS where traditional init scripts have
been replaced by native systemd services files. Service files provide
very similar functionality to init scripts. To make use of service
files simply invoke "systemctl", which will output a list of all
currently running services (and other units). Use "systemctl
list-unit-files" to get a listing of all known unit files, including
stopped, disabled and masked ones. Use "systemctl start
foobar.service" and "systemctl stop foobar.service" to start or stop a
service, respectively. For further details, please refer to
systemctl(1).
Note that traditional init scripts continue to function on a systemd
system. An init script @SYSTEM_SYSVINIT_PATH@/foobar is implicitly mapped
into a service unit foobar.service during system initialization.
Thank you!

You are looking for the traditional text log files in @VARLOGDIR@, and
they are gone?
Here's an explanation on what's going on:
You are running a systemd-based OS where traditional syslog has been
replaced with the Journal. The journal stores the same (and more)
information as classic syslog. To make use of the journal and access
the collected log data simply invoke "journalctl", which will output
the logs in the identical text-based format the syslog files in
@VARLOGDIR@ used to be. For further details, please refer to
journalctl(1).
Alternatively, consider installing one of the traditional syslog
implementations available for your distribution, which will generate
the classic log files for you. Syslog implementations such as
syslog-ng or rsyslog may be installed side-by-side with the journal
and will continue to function the way they always did.
Thank you!
