0) this is for bug 816303 and its fallout
   https://bugs.gentoo.org/816303 

1) for this to even have a chance of working, systemd-tmpfiles needs to be
   in *stage1* (otherwise it can't be called at the start of the stage3
   build).

Since we can perfectly add whole systemd to packages.build, adding only
systemd-tmpfiles on openrc stages is no big deal (I checked, it works).

2) systemd-tmpfiles only does as much as its already present config says

Which means we get an additional hook, but it's not doing too much yet.
I hope it's enough, so far I rebuilt stages 4 times with different package
sets and did not see any failures yet.

on second thought, it probably makes sense to move the tmpfs mount and
the systemd-tmpfiles call for stage1root *after* the installation of
baselayout. started another test run...

FORGET IT. Re: [gentoo-catalyst] about the systemd-tmpfiles patches

Forget it. This is a lot of pain for not much gain [*].

I've bumped build-docbook-catalog to version 2.2, which now uses
/etc/xml/.lock as lock directory (and creates it if needed).

[*]
On openrc profiles, running systemd-tmpfiles does not do anything since
no config files are installed. /run/lock is created somewhere inside
openrc, with different permissions compared to a systemd profile...
so we'd need to install a hand-crafted config...
That kind of gave me the last push towards a simpler solution.
