/var/run is deprecated in most modern Linux distributions
The use of the /var/run directory is deprecated in favor of the /run directory
on modern Linux systems, as formalized in version 3.0 of the Filesystem
Hierarchy Standard (FHS).
Current opensaf harcode directly base on localstatedir variable
$(localstatedir)/run.
It's better to support config runstatedir, default value is
$(localstatedir)/run.
Since Autoconf 2.70 already support runstatedir. But opensaf does not support
at the moment.

‘runstatedir’
The directory for installing data files which the programs modify while they
run, that pertain to one specific machine, and which need not persist longer
than the execution of the program—which is generally long-lived, for example,
until the next reboot. PID files for system daemons are a typical use. In
addition, this directory should not be cleaned except perhaps at reboot, while
the general /tmp (TMPDIR) may be cleaned arbitrarily. This should normally be
/var/run, but write it as $(localstatedir)/run. Having it as a separate
variable allows the use of /run if desired, for example. (If you are using
Autoconf 2.70 or later, write it as ‘@runstatedir@’.)
