Renamed runtimedir to runstatedir.
A new variable named runstatedir has been defined in the GNU Coding Standards.
Comfignat had runtimedir for the same purpose. The name is now changed to keep
Comfignat compatible with the GNU Coding Standards. This change also improves
the documentation of runstatedir and lockdir.
