xentools4*: /var/lock and /var/lib/xenstored -> /var/run



I propose two changes:

xentools as we configure it today end up with XEN_LOCK_DIR as /var/lock.
At least xl(1) ends up in use /var/lib/xl as lock directory.
That is wrong under NetBSD as /var/lock doesn't exist.  /var/run
is more appropriate because that gets cleaned at boot.

Also XEN_LIB_STORED ends up as /var/lib/xenstored and xenstored puts its
"tdb" into that directory.  However that file is ephemeral and must be
removed after reboots.   Debian moved that file to /var/run/xenstored and
that was also recommended as appropriate location in
https://blog.xenproject.org/2014/05/01/9124/.

I guess I could be talked into removing xenstored/tdb immediately before
starting xenstored in the rc.d script, too.  I'm not sure if xenstored can
be restarted and recover from the "tdb" file.

patch-.._m4_paths.m4:
$NetBSD$

The xenstored database is ephemeral and must be removed during system boot.
Put it into /var/run/xenstored. The ocaml xenstored does that too.

/var/lock doesn't exist on NetBSD, use /var/run instead.
