Fix glitches with systemd sysusers and tmpfiles

Details

    Description

      Fix glitches with systemd sysusers and tmpfiles:

      Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Use descriptive file names for sysusers and tmpfiles configuration
      		 
       
      		 
      These files were installed to:
      		 
       
      		 
      ${INSTALL_SYSTEMD_SYSUSERSDIR}/sysusers.conf
      		 
      ${INSTALL_SYSTEMD_TMPFILESDIR}/tmpfiles.conf
      		 
       
      		 
      Instead rename the files to more descriptive file names 'mariadb.conf'.


      Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Make systemd-tmpfiles create MYSQL_DATADIR
      		 
       
      		 
      This is a no-op if the directory exists, but makes sure it is created by
      		 
      systemd-tmpfiles with proper permissions otherwise.
      		 
       
      		 
      This solves packaging issues when the user MYSQLD_USER is created by
      		 
      systemd-sysusers and uid is not known in advance.

            yes, somehow it didn't make to MDEV back then. But now it's in Jira, so should get some attention soon

            This patch has implications on all systems using systemd, Redhat and Debian alike.

            The data-directory is not a volatile file, according to tmpfiles documentation. In this case we can not use tmpfiles for creating it. This is why the second patch was rejected. The problem should be solved in a post-install script in some form, not through tmpfiles.

            The first patch however makes both file names agree with the systemd-sysusers and systemd-tmpfiles naming convention. This was accepted.
