bird2 package for debian broken

[Logan V.]

Worked this out in bionic, here is an example Dockerfile:
http://paste.openstack.org/raw/787759/

The issue with the post-installation script complaining about "Error: The
new file /usr/share/doc/bird2/examples/bird.conf does not exist!" was due
to the Bionic container image containing a config line in
/etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/excludes which filters out most files in
/usr/share/doc:
path-exclude=/usr/share/doc/*

This was causing dpkg not to install the bird example configuration, and
the post-installation script to fail.

Additionally bird fails to start because /run/bird was not created (not
sure if the package should be expected to lay that path down?) but that
needs to be manually created at this point.
