Public bug reported:

rabbitmq-server fails to start (`sudo service [re]start rabbitmq-
server`) if the log directory (`/var/log/rabbitmq` by default) does not
exist.

It's a frequent use-case for people who mount `/var/log` as `tmpfs`
(e.g. for SSD optimization).

The script just hangs forever and does not provide any useful output nor
(you guessed it) any log.

Running `sudo mkdir /var/log/rabbitmq && sudo chown rabbitmq:rabbitmq
/var/log && sudo service rabbitmq-server restart` starts it
successfully, though.

Bug noticed on rabbitmq-server 3.6.2-1 but it may affect other versions
too.

Feel free to ask more information, I reproduce this bug every single
morning when starting my computer ;-)
