Bug#387699: exim4: Should create /var/run/exim4/ if it is missing

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Package:  exim4-base
Version:  5.40-8
Severity: important
Tags:     patch

The exim4 init.d script is creating files in /var/run/exim4/, but do
not make sure the directory exist before doing this.  This will break
when I change /var/run/ to be a tmpfs in initscripts.

Here is a patch to solve this.
