This will place the RC_SVCDIR to ${gentooprefix}/run/openrc. In Gentoo
Prefix, user may not have root permission to use /run/openrc, and can
only access directories inside ${gentooprefix}
RC_PREFIX is now always set to ${gentooprefix}

i'll talk to the folks about PREFIX, seems like it wasn't well supported. but specially now that openrc-user is being merged, we might have a better case to keep it. |

I reached out to the prefix team multiple times about this in the past, and there didn't seem to be any interest in supporting it. This is the reason it was removed, so I'm against this unless we have more interest from that team. |
Thank you for explanation. @heroxbd is the Lead of Prefix Project and also my mentor. He talked to me privately that we need OpenRC support in Gentoo Prefix and should maintain it, and that's why I created this PR. |

Hi William,
I hope everything is going on well. Did you contact me via my email or IRC? Sorry that I missed your message. I am still catch up with my inbox. We are interested in supporting OpenRC on Prefix. The previous stopper was the Prefix support for meson, which is now fixed. Please assign future bugs and request review of PRs to the Prefix team (and me) regarding Prefix support of OpenRC when you see appropriate. Yours, |

@heroxbd and I use openrc inside Gentoo Prefix to manage services, so we'd like to see this feature back
