meson: drop varlogdir variable

It was only used for exactly one thing: to substitute in the text in
/var/log/README. But it's use there was completely wrong, because the text
talks about "missing" log files from syslog, so even if we configured systemd
to log to a different directory, the "missing" log files would still be
"missing" from the old location.

+You are looking for the traditional text log files in /var/log, 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 /var/log 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!
