The /dev/std{in,out.err} and /dev/fd entries are links into proc. While
these are not explicitly required by any Debian policy, mmdebstrap
creates them and they are used when installing systemd units under dracut.

We only observed warnings regarding the missing entries, but no issues
so far. Nonetheless, we now create them on-the-fly to behave similar to
mmdebstrap.

Fixes: 4fedb1ae ("add support for fully rootless builds")
