The nginx init script requires an existing directory /var/tmp/nginx.
In case the /var/tmp directory is bind-mounted to /tmp and therefore wiped on each reboot, nginx refuses to start.

It is suggested to create the missing directory in case it is not there yet.

Revert "main/nginx: move /var/lib/nginx/tmp to /var/tmp/nginx"

FHS-3.0 says that /var/tmp should survive reboots, but for it is common
practice to ignore FHS for security reasons and wipe dirs that are world
writable.

There is no good reason to store nginx data under a world writable
directory, so move it back to /var/lib/nginx/tmp. Other distros does
something similar.
