[PATCH 2/5] virtiofsd: create lock/pid file in per user cache dir

[Vivek Goyal]

Right now we create lock/pid file in /usr/local/var/... and unprivliged
user does not have access to create files there.

So create this file in per user cache dir as queried as specified
by environment variable XDG_RUNTIME_DIR.

Note: "su $USER" does not update XDG_RUNTIME_DIR and it still points to
root user's director. So for now I create a directory /tmp/$UID to save
lock/pid file. Dan pointed out that it can be a problem if a malicious
app already has /tmp/$UID created. So we probably need to get rid of this.
