systemd: Mitigate /var/log type mismatch issue

When VOLATILE_LOG_DIR evaluates as True, the base-files recipe provides
/var/log -> /var/volatile/log symlink which is in conflict with systemd
upstream tmpfiles.d/var.conf.in which defines it as a directory.

This generates following error in journal:

  Jul 03 14:28:00 qemux86-64 systemd-tmpfiles[165]: "/var/log" already exists and is not a directory.

Mitigate the issue by defining /var/log as symlink corresponding to
the one created by base-files, when appropriate.
