`ostree container commit` wipes /var and thereby erases the data in
/var/lib/alternatives; the directory used to store configs/symlinks of
alternatives.

/var is not a good place for storing such configs since it won't receive
updates on bootc images either.  We need to move to another location.

Hence, use /etc/alternatives.admindir when running on an ostree-based
system unless /var/lib/alternatives is already present; a user may have
worked around the problem.  This way we enable alternatives to work on
ostree-based systems without breaking backwards compat.

Fixes: fedora-sysv#9
