Summary:                    [patch] Unable to open pid file
'/var/run/asterisk/asterisk.pid': No such file or directory
Description: 
Debian/Ubuntu: A default build from source (without tweaking
/etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf) gives an error on boot:

"Unable to open pid file '/var/run/asterisk/asterisk.pid': No such file or
directory"

Attempting to log in with asterisk -cvv or asterisk -rvv throws:
"Unable to connect to remote asterisk (does /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl
exist?)"

Manually creating /var/run/asterisk and restarting the application clears
the issue, but /var/run/asterisk disappears on reboot.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
This is actually not a regression in Asterisk.  An operating system change
or upgrade probably caused this.

Patch attached and ready for testing.
