package/mender: fix missing /var/lib

Mender needs /var/lib directory to be available: on some configurations /var/lib is not available and thus the mender package installation fails. This patch does a mkdir to ensure the /var/lib directory is always available.

Hello Angelo,

This reference was a build failure on the "next" branch, so one might think that the issue only exists on the next branch. So I've replaced this with a reference to a build failure that happens on the "master" branch, which makes it clear this patch should be applied on master.

Also for future patches: please always leave one blank line before your SoB.

Applied to master, thanks!
