From: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin@orange.com>

Currently, we have a single solution to handle the /var content on a
read-only root filesystem, and users can opt out of using it.

We're going to introduce another solution (based on an overlayfs), which
is incompatible with using the factory, so we'll have a choice of three
mutually exclusive options.

Introduce that choice now with just the existing /var factory, and a new
option to opt out of it.
