pid1: create ro private tmp dirs when /tmp or /var/tmp is read-only

Read-only /var/tmp is more likely, because it's backed by a real device. /tmp
is (by default) backed by tmpfs, but it doesn't have to be. In both cases the
same consideration applies.

If we boot with read-only /var/tmp, any unit with PrivateTmp=yes would fail
because we cannot create the subdir under /var/tmp to mount the private directory.
But many services actually don't require /var/tmp (either because they only use
it occasionally, or because they only use /tmp, or even because they don't use the
temporary directories at all, and PrivateTmp=yes is used to isolate them from
the rest of the system).

To handle both cases let's create a read-only directory under /run/systemd and
mount it as the private /tmp or /var/tmp. (Read-only to not fool the service into
dumping too much data in /run.)

$ sudo systemd-run -t -p PrivateTmp=yes bash
Running as unit: run-u14.service

[root@workstation /]# ls -l /tmp/

[root@workstation /]# ls -l /var/tmp/
total 0
[root@workstation /]# touch /tmp/f
[root@workstation /]# touch /var/tmp/f
touch: cannot touch '/var/tmp/f': Read-only file system

This commit has more changes than I like to put in one commit, but it's touching all
the same paths so it's hard to split.
exec_runtime_make() was using the wrong cleanup function, so the directory would be
left behind on error.
