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.
