Revert lock path to /var/run/lock

lock dir changed on linux from /var/log to /run/pppd/lock with pppd-2.5.0, which makes pppd fail to start if the distribution does not pre-create the directory. This reverts it back to /var/run/lock. Note the standard path for locks is /var/lock, but there is no ready-made variable for it and we've always been using /var/run/lock, so this picks the safer alternative of reverting to something that's always been working. Fixes: 66a8c74 ("Let ./configure control the paths for pppd") Fixes: #419 Signed-off-by: Dominique Martinet <[email protected]>
