Description:
with the recent symlink of /var/run to /run there is no point to keeping files in /var/run.
with ntpd.pid the only file in /var/run/ntpd that can be moved to just /run/ntpd.pid and remove the extra directory.

i have done the above along with a stale pid file handling suggested by falconindy and put them in my github account.

https://github.com/JohnFrazier/arch-tmpfiles.d/tree/973adedd9aee6487c7b767aad1f296091576d82c/extra/ntp

moving the pid prevents the new rc.d script from stopping the old ntpd process, I put a msg in the install file which needs some adjustment to use as the upgrade test isn't ideal. or leave it out.
This task depends upon

Thanks a lot for this; I have updated ntp accordingly and put a new package in [testing]; it will stay there for a few days just to make sure I didn't miss anything.
