Right now it's basename of the process.
Except in the case of /var/run/sm-client.pid which has a process base-name of
"sendmail". I'm sure that there are other similar exceptions too.

If you move to this new thing, do you do one dir per daemon? One
per process? Something else?
One per security context. So have /var/run/sendmail for sendmail.pid and
sm-client.pid as they are both part of the sendmail service.
