tmpfiles.d relies on merging lines for the same file paths, as well as detecting conflicts between lines for the same file paths. /var/run is a prominent case that is an alias for /run, any many tmpfiles snippets refer to paths in /var/run rather than /run currently, which breaks the conflict detection and merging. We can't really fix this comprehensively, as doing so would require us to resolve symlinks early on, but that's precisely not what we want to do, as tmpfiles is usually run very early on where the paths might not be fully available yet (in particular as we might likely create them ourselves). Hence, let's at least detect and fix this case for the most prominent case of this ambiguity, and also log explicitly about this, asking users to fix the snippets in question so that the merging and conflict detection works properly again.
