The /run/network directory is used by ifupdown2 for locks and state files.
This directory is created at service startup (networking). But if we want, for
example, to use ifquery before network start, it fails.
We can ensure that /run/network directory is always present with systemd-tmpfiles.

We could do it with systemd RuntimeDirectory in the networking service, but it
does not seem to be the right method with the standalone mode.

Preliminary work : Debhelper update.

Like /run/network, we can move /etc/network/run symlink creation in ifupdown2 tmpfiles
and /etc/network/run directory symlink.

We no longer need to worry about the existence of this directory.
The system handles the creation.

Hello,

I have split system configuration and codebase modification for the /run/network directory. The last commit on the codebase update is a very bad idea if ifupdown2 is built for non Debian system.

I wait for your decision to known if we can keep it.
