app-emulation/libvirt: create /var/lib/libvirt/secrets via tmpfiles
libvirt 12.1.0 introduces virt-secret-init-encryption.service which generates
a host-specific key used to encrypt libvirt secrets. The service writes
the key to /var/lib/libvirt/secrets/secrets-encryption-key.
Since in the ebuild we are doing rm -fr ${D}/var during src_install and
relying on tmpfiles to recreate required directories an entry in the
tmpfiles is needed with correct permission for the creation of the
secrets folder.
Please note that this only affects systemd based systems as the
virt-secret-init-encryption.service is never used in OpenRC. On systemd
without the secrets folder, virt-secret-init-encryption.service fails
wich inturn blocks libvirtd.service from starting.
