    OpenRC: Make prevention of conf overwriting better
    
    The previous method was clumsy and not very understandable. The build
    system uses the standard install_data() Meson function which will
    indiscriminately overwrite anything that falls in the cross fire.
    
    However, what we can do is move the old /etc/conf.d directory out of the
    way before normal installation takes place, in which we can move all the
    old contents back in after the overwrite.
