I am still open for this btw. If somebody wants to hack on that, I
figure this should simply be addded to ExecContext, as a strv of
directory names. In exec_spawn() we'd then just create all those dirs,
right after resolving the UID/GID. When running in system mode we'd then
create the dirs in /run, when running user mode in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR.

Should be a ~20 line patch or so...
