Why would the cookie be in the runtime dir?

The cookie is meant to be long lasting, e.g. we don't regenerate it on boot and
it can be copied around.

The runtime dir should be used for sockets and such like.

If we do have a "cookie in runtime dir" approach we should copied it the first
time if it doesn't exist, but that in itself may result in the same locking
problems... should only happen once per boot, but then what is you update
you're ~/.pulse-cookie and a client starts... should it compare timestamps etc?

I'm not sure this is correct.

But we certainly DO want to support the runtime dir generally. We have to be
careful however, as on non-systemd systems, the fallback value for
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR set by gnome did NOT consider NFS and actually used the
XDG_CACHE_HOME which could easily reside on an NFS share. We should certainly
NOT create our sockets on an NFS share.
