This fixes "frequency file /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift.TEMP: Permission denied". Creating a directory via StateDirectory makes that directory /var/lib/ntp owned by root:root. However, when running ntpd we change to user ntp (see ntpFlags), so the process cannot actually use that directory. Actually creating a home directory for the user at that location solves that problem. (cherry picked from commit 31942f2)
