The first and third are imposing systemd-originated brokenness on
non-systemd users and are therefore not really acceptable.

There is a fourth option: we arrange that if the user specifies
--localstatedir it still breaks with systemd, but perhaps that they
get an error message earlier.  That confines the systemd breakage to
systemd users.
