build: Call 'systemd-tmpfiles --create' when installing It's only necessary to call 'systemd-tmpfiles --create' when building and installing from source on the host operating system. It's not needed when using a pre-built binary downstream package, because: * When 'meson install' is called as part of building the package, that's not when the temporary files need to be created. They need to be created when the binary package is later downloaded and installed by the user. * Downstream tools can sometimes handle it automatically. eg., on Fedora, the systemd RPM installs a trigger that tells RPM to call 'systemd-tmpfiles --create' automatically when a tmpfiles.d snippet is installed. It's also not needed when installing inside a toolbox container because the files that 'systemd-tmpfiles --create' is supposed to create are meant to be on the host. Downstream distributors set the DESTDIR environment variable when building their packages. Therefore, it's used to detect when a downstream package is being built. Unfortunately, environment variables are messy and, generally, Meson doesn't support accessing them inside its scripts [1]. Therefore, this adds a spurious build-time dependency on systemd for downstream distributors. However, that's probably not a big problem because all supported downstream operating systems are already expected to use systemd for the tmpfiles.d(5) snippets to work.
