configure: make default PID location configurable

Also, document those changes in NEWS as using `localstatedir` may move
stuff from `/var` to `/usr/local/var`.

Closes #64.

+lldpd (0.7.9)
+  * Changes:
+    + Default location for chroot, socket and PID are now configurable
+      in `./configure`. The default location is based on the value of
+      `runstatedir` which in turn may be based on the value of
+      `localstatedir` which defaults to `/usr/local/var`. Therefore,
+      to get the previous locations, lldpd should be configured with
+      `./configure --localstatedir=/var`.
