[build_debian.sh]: Fix /var/log having 0750 permissions instead of 07…

…55 (#10031)

PR #9481 changed auditd's log directory to be /var/log instead of
/var/log/audit, because SONiC mounts a disk image at /var/log during
runtime, and so the /var/log/audit directory might not exist (since it
would've been created during package installation, mounting another
partition at /var/log will hide it). However, for security reasons,
auditd changes the log directory to have 0750 permissions, so that not
everyone knows about the audit logs or read them.

To fix this, revert the change to auditd's log directory, and tell
systemd to create the audit log directory at runtime if it doesn't
exist. Because the disk image gets mounted during initramfs (before
systemd starts), systemd will make sure that the /var/log/audit
directory will exist.

Fixes #9548 and #10015
