Systemd.exec supports configuring the runtime directory of a service
via RuntimeDirectory=. This creates the directory with the necessary
permissions which actual service may not have if running in container.

The change to DPDK is to look for the environment RUNTIME_DIRECTORY
first and use that in preference to the fallback alternatives.

Also, while reviewing this, I stumbled across eal_set_runtime_dir() in eal_common_config.c, which I think should be fixed:

int
eal_set_runtime_dir(char *run_dir, size_t size)
{
	size_t str_size;

-	str_size = strlcpy(runtime_dir, run_dir, size);
-	if (str_size >= size) {
+	str_size = strlcpy(runtime_dir, run_dir, sizeof(runtime_dir));
+	if (str_size >= sizeof(runtime_dir)) {
		RTE_LOG(ERR, EAL, "Runtime directory string too long\n");
		return -1;
	}

	return 0;
}

And I don't understand why size is passed as a parameter to eal_set_runtime_dir().
