This is needed as part of being able to boot with just /boot, /guix and
/var/guix, per https://issues.guix.gnu.org/51547.
Without this patch, activation-on-boot fails due to the inability to
open /var/run/utmpx and symlink /run/current-system.
This is similar to what activation-script does with /var/log/.
* gnu/services.scm (activation-script): Create /run/ and /var/run/.
