Summary:                    [patch] set
ASTVARRUNDIR=$(localstatedir)/run/asterisk as default path
Description: 
A simple patch to change the default location for ASTVARRUNDIR.

The reason for this revolves around running asterisk as a non-root user. 
With this patch, we can setup specific permission on the folder for our
non-root user to control.

Without this patch, there is no way to control the permission on the
ASTVARRUNDIR path because other application also write to this path.

A conversation on #asterisk-dev with seanbright raised no major
objections.
