Bug#633054: mdadm: /run transition: Please switch use of /lib/init/rw to /run

[Michael Biebl]

This bug is primarily about the usage of /lib/init/rw in the sysv init script,
specifically debian/mdadm-raid:

for dir in /lib/init/rw /dev/shm /dev; do
  statedir=$dir/.mdadm
  test -d $statedir && STATEDIR=$statedir && break
  test -w $dir || continue
  mkdir $statedir || continue
  STATEDIR=$statedir
  break
done

I'd say this can be vastly simpliefied now, and you can just use /run/mdadm as
STATEDIR.

Updating the mdadm sources to use /run/mdadm instead of /dev/.mdadm is most
likely more work and can be deferred to a later upload.

Our primary concern here is getting rid of /lib/init/rw.
