Netdata package does not create required directory "/var/lib/netdata"

The netdata package appears to be missing the creation of a needed directory, /var/lib/netdata. Here's a demo:

Install the package and try running netdata:

$ docker run -it alpine:latest
/ # apk update
fetch http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.12/main/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz
fetch http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.12/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz

Create /var/lib/netdata by hand, and everything works:

/ # mkdir /var/lib/netdata
/ # chown netdata:netdata /var/lib/netdata
/ # /usr/sbin/netdata -D
