Currently, it is probably being used only by the countme functionality. However, we are referencing this directory in multiple places in the code and docs. We need to check those references, as they might be invalid.

Additionally, we might consider moving the current countme-related files to another DNF-owned directory and potentially dropping this one entirely.

Although the directory might not be used much, we have the persistdir exposed in the API, so we'll probably keep it as it is.

DNF5 uses that directory at least for storing countme cookies.

This patch does not install that directory because /var is effemeral
on bootc systems (see commit
5cc72c6).
