d380dde1d2 skeleton: make /run a proper directory/filesystem
Making /var/run and /run symlinks to /tmp is bad since the underlying
tmpfs filesystem is mode 1777 which leads to possible security attack
vectors via badly owned/mask-mode pidfiles and state files residing there.

So make /run a proper directory with /var/run symlinked to it.
Eventually all startup scripts and state info should be pointed to /run
directly as per the linux fhs and good practice.

Add a tmpfs filesystem entry for /run so that busybox inittab, systemv
inittab and systemd automount mounts it there to avoid breaking the
system.

While at it fix inconsistent spacing in /etc/fstab by using tabs and
drop the "static file system information" header whatever that means.

6c3e3ad419 New top-level directory: system
This directory groups the following elements:
 * the default root filesystem skeleton
 * the default device tables
 * the Config.in options for system configuration (UART port for
   getty, system hostname, etc.)
 * the make rules to apply the system configuration options

Even though the skeleton and device tables could have lived in fs/, it
would have been strange to have the UART, system hostname and other
related options into fs/. A new system/ directory makes more sense.

As a consequence, this patch also removes target/Makefile.in, which
has become useless in the process.

[Peter: fixup TARGET_SKELETON settings / documentation to match]
