This PR moves all folders that have persistent data from the root to /var. This will ensure that all user edited files are kept across upgrades.
This also makes use of symlinks instead of bind mounts since this is more flexible. It allows mounting something to /home for example, since that will automatically mount to /var/home due to the symlink, which was not possible before.
I recommend reviewing the commits instead of all changes, since all changes combined might be a bit confusing.
