New Revision: 180898

Log:
list the move of the astvarrundir from /var/run to /var/run/asterisk
(actually its $(localstatedir)/run/asterisk

Makes setups with asterisk as non-root easier to manage because you can
setup permissions on this dir instead of touching a file and setting 
permissions on that.
Files that come to mind are asterisk.pid and asterisk.ctl socket.
