Instruction for multi node setup misses /var/run/swift creation

Browse Source 
Multiple Server Swift Installation (Ubuntu) instruction does not
indicate that the directory /var/run/swift needs to be created.
That directory actually needs to be created and the ownship needs
to be changed to the user/group which swift service runs under.

This patch will fix the document and gives the steps how to create
the directory and set the ownership right. It also gives instruction
on how the script can be added so that swift services can be resarted
after system reboots.

#. Create directory /var/run/swift and change the ownership to the user and group
which Swift services will run under. Since the directory is only needed for runtime,
when system shuts down, the directory will be gone. It is necessary to have
the directory recreated when system is restarted. To do that, also add the
following lines into /etc/rc.local before line "exit 0".
mkdir -p /var/run/swift
chown swift:swift /var/run/swift
.. note::
The random string of text in /etc/swift/swift.conf is
used as a salt when hashing to determine mappings in the ring.
