+- partial revert of earlier "fix PIDFile"
+  - move pidfile back to /run/squid.pid and not in the directory
+    owned by squid. The purpose of /run/squid/ is to facilitate
+    SMP worker's IPC and not for the PID file. The PID file can
+    live just fine in /run since it's written by root. (bsc#1210960)
