meta-phosphor: unset VOLATILE_LOG_DIR
This variable, if set, creates a symlink of /var/log to
/var/volatile/log. In most cases if machines have configured
applications like obmc-console or journald to write to /var/log
they want it to be persistent. The symlink causes them to be written
to the non-persistent tmpfs space for /var/volatile.
Set all machines to `VOLATILE_LOG_DIR = no` by default.
