Changing daemon user, dir ownership and updating packages

[Stefan Bethke]

As the maintainer, I've received this bug report:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=255009

If you'd like to run the daemon under a user different from the default git, you also need to change the ownership of the working directories, especially /var/*/gitea.

The expectation is that upgrading the package will not change the ownership of already existing directories. When installing a newer version of the package, pkg appears to reset the ownership to those specified in the package.

The pkg-plist has this:
@owner git
@group git
@dir /var/db/gitea
@dir /var/log/gitea
@dir /var/run/gitea

I believe this to be best practice. Is there a better way to have pkg create these dirs if they're missing, but not touch them if they are there already?
