network/nss-mdns: Look in /run for avahi daemon socket
This fixes nss-mdns functionality since avahi was upgraded and
changed to use /run for its socket.

This build could be fixed by using --localstatedir=/ instead,
but it looks wrong (even if it's correct in this case), so I
decided to go with the patch instead.

Thanks to Lioh Moeller for the bug report.

README

nss-mdns is a plugin for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality
of the GNU C Library (glibc) which provides host name resolution via
Multicast DNS (a.k.a. Zeroconf, a.k.a. Apple Rendezvous, a.k.a Apple Bonjour).
This effectively allows name resolution by common Unix/Linux programs in the
ad-hoc mDNS domain .local.

To test, the following command should return a mapping for the remote host:
  getent hosts <hostname>.local
