volatile-binds: add recipe

This recipe is designed to play a key role in a read-only rootfs
of systemd based systems. It generates service files from a template,
volatile-binds.service.in and the VOLATILE_BINDS variable.

By default, VOLATILE_BINDS takes the value of "/var/volatile/lib /var/lib\n",
which leads to the generation of volatile-var-lib.service file.
This file doesn't have any effect in a read-write system, as it
has "ConditionPathIsReadWrite = !/var/lib" in the [Unit] section.
In other words, this file only has effect in a read-only rootfs.
