PATCH 1/1 cups: move localstatedir from /usr/var to /var

Prior to commit f64a1b850fc897357040bb4c58b6e5e50e71e094 ("cups:
convert to autotargets"), cups was explicitely configured to put its modifiable single-machine data under /var. After that commit, the --localstatedir was not specified, so it remained at it's default value, "PREFIX/var" - making cups use "/usr/var".

Using /var to store state files seems preferable to /usr/var, as /usr might be read-only on some systems. This patch re-introduces the --localstatedir specification to build cups to use /var.
