[run-vm] allow sharing of /var/lib
All checks were successful
Check flake syntax / flake-check (push) Successful in 4m3s

sharing /var somehow doesnt work. for example nginx fails because of
lacking permissions to access /var/log/nginx. this also happens when
run-vm is started as root. thats why only /var/lib is shared which still
allows application persistency between tests
