Whoever reviews this PR, please bear in mind that I had no intention of hindering this OpenVPN update by opening up a discussion here - https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/48834

I believe keeping OpenVPN up-to-date is important regardless of the conclusions drawn in the aforementioned discussion. That being said, it would be nice to have runit services for openvpn-server and openvpn-client installed in /usr/share/examples/sv (see https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/48834#issuecomment-1953063448). One argument for doing so is that the service would be easily accessible to users who want to have it enabled on boot. And on top of that the proposed solution would be safe for those who run OpenVPN manually or use NetworkManager etc.

Another argument for including runit services for OpenVPN is that similar software like https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/tree/master/srcpkgs/wireguard-tools does come with a runit service preinstalled.
